To supplement the state government’s effort to provide oxygen to Covid-19 patients, Markfed is supplying oxygen through special trains. Gurpreet Singh, general manager of the Markfed, said that in order to curtail the delivery time of the medial oxygen in the state it was being brought by trains which took hardly one-day to reach here from other parts of the country. Earlier, it was being transported via trucks which used to take four to five days. He informed that so far the Markfed had paid for 35 metric tonnes of oxygen.

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).
