Chandigarh, May 22

The UT Administration today received 50,000 doses from the Central Government for vaccination of beneficiaries aged 45 or above.

“Anyone with Aadhaar card can walk in and get jabbed at our 50 government vaccination centres,” said UT Adviser, Manoj Parida.

He said the city’s positivity rate had come down to 10 per cent. “Thanks to the decisions of the Administrator in war room meetings and cooperation of residents, the positivity rate is down to 10 per cent,” said Parida.

“I salute the philanthropic spirit of local organisations. We got seven mini-Covid care centres quickly and patients received the best medical care,” he added.

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).
