With rising Covid cases among the personnel of the UT police, a team of doctors from the police hospital, Sector 26, has been tasked with keeping regular communication with the patients.

Police official said the doctors are regularly communicating with Covid-positive police personnel over the phone and also visiting their houses to prescribe medicines according to their health issues.

The Police Department has also started a helpline for Covid-related stress and anxiety as well as for psychological counselling of police personnel.

An immunity-booster kit comprising vitamin C and zinc tablets is also being distributed to all field police officials on field duty to boost their immunity during the second wave of this pandemic.

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).
