Covid-infected former Indian sprinter Milkha Singh (91) is showing signs of improvement, said a team of doctors attending to him at an ICU at the PGI. “Legendary sprinter Milkha Singh, who is admitted to the ICU at the PGI since June 3, is showing continuous improvement. On the basis of all medical parameters, his condition has been observed better than previous days. He is continuously being monitored by a medical team at the PGI,” read a medial bulletin.

“Milkha is improving and his condition is stable. Nirmal Milkha Singh continues to battle the disease bravely,” said a family member. — TNS

Death rumours on social media

On Saturday, the social media was flooded with rumours about Milkha’s death. The messages were fake as doctors maintained that Milkha was on the path of recovery.

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).
