War against Covid-19 still on: Himanshu Aggarwal, ADC

This was a unique experience of enforcing a massive closure on all kinds of services. The scope in the pandemic closure kept changing. Firstly, it was to distribute food, then on migrants, gradually entire focus shifted on patients, reducing mortality, handling people coming from outer states, their sampling. Then focus shifted on the vulnerable, tracing primary and secondary contacts, providing essential gears such as PPE and other amenities to corona warriors, handling pilgrims returning from Nanded. Every day, we face a new challenge and the war against Covid-19 is still on. In all these, the cooperation of the public was supreme.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
