Mohali, April 7

In the wake of rising Covid-19 cases, Fortis Hospital, Mohali, has designated two separate emergency wings for treating Covid-19 suspects/patients and other patients, respectively.

The isolation facility in the Covid Wing will have the capacity to hold about 12 patients at a given point of time, whereas the Non-Covid Wing will cater to patients with emergencies such as heart attack, stroke management, trauma, mother and child health, and gastroenterology.

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).
