Headquarters Western Command, in collaboration with the Avtar Education Trust and the civil administration organised a Covid vaccination camp under ‘Operation Namaste’ at The Fort in Jagatpura near here today.

Col Jasdeep Sandhu, Director, Civil Military Affairs, said the Western Command would support the civil administration in vaccination drives, wherever required, by providing logistical support like doctors, para-medical staff and ambulances, especially in difficult areas and motivate people to get themselves vaccinated.

Military vehicles were also sent to transport villagers from far-off villages to the vaccination site today.

Punjab Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu visited the vaccination camp and appreciated the initiative. — 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).
