Amritsar, April 30

To augment the state government’s fight against the raging pandemic, National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) president Akshay Sharma on Friday handed over 15 Covid-19 ambulances, equipped with oxygen cylinders, masks, gloves and PPE kits to the district administration.

He said the Covid-19 ambulances were being operationalised in Amritsar and Ludhiana on the directions of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

“Launched under the Congress ‘Covid Task Force Mission’, these ambulances will have a driver and ward boy round the clock. Ever since onset of this ferocious second wave, the NSUI have been on the forefront to provide bed, medicines and food to patients. The service will soon be launched in Jallandhar, Tarn Taran and Ferozepur,” he said.

Akshay urged people to stay indoors and follow the health guidelines to tackle the virus.

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).
