CM Capt Amarinder Singh today virtually inaugurated a 100-bed makeshift Covid hospital at Talwandi Sabo in Bathinda, scaling up the state’s preparedness for a possible third wave.

The hospital has been built at a cost of Rs 651.21 lakh with the help of HMEL Refinery under the guidance of the CBRI, Roorkee. The government has provided Rs 4,51,21,000 out of its SDRF funds and HMEL Refinery, Phullo Khari, has given Rs 2 crore. HMEL Refinery has also provided 2.6 acre land for the hospital. — TNS

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).
