Mohali, July 18

The district health authorities today urged sarpanches to motivate villagers to get themselves vaccinated against Covid-19.

Civil Surgeon Dr Adarshpal Kaur said there was no shortage of vaccine in the district and all those above 18 years of age should not hesitate from getting vaccinated and ignore rumours about ill-effects of the vaccine.

As many as 6,11,337 persons have been inoculated in the district so far. Divulging details, the Civil Surgeon said health workers had administered 5,31,139 shots of Covishield and 80,198 doses of Covaxin.

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).
