Mohali, August 18

The Mohali district administration has procured 30 ventilators, which would be installed in the selected institutions by Thursday. Mohali Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan said enough of respiratory care infrastructure was in stock.

The administration will conduct random rapid tests through mobile vans in areas around large industries and places such as Labour Chowk to increase testing range.

He directed all private hospitals to increase tertiary Covid care bed capacity to cope up with the surge in cases.

The Expert Referral Committee of the district comprising the Civil Surgeon and doctors from other government and private hospitals has access to bed status in every health institution on a real-time basis. — 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).
