Chandigarh, June 9

Former Indian sprinter Milkha Singh is responding well to medication, but his wife Nirmal Milkha Singh continues to battle the Covid infection, informed the doctors monitoring the couple.

“Milkha continues to improve. Nirmal Milkha Singh, meanwhile, continues to battle hard but is stable,” read a statement issued by Milkha’s family.

Milkha is undergoing treatment for post-Covid complications at the PGI. “His saturation level has improved and he has started taking food himself,” said a source.

Nirmal, a former captain of the Indian women’s volleyball team, is still on oxygen support and has shown little improvement, said a doctor. — 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).
