Congress leader and Anandpur Sahib MP Manish Tewari on Sunday took the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the Ropar Civil Hospital.

Tewari thanked doctors and called the vaccination process “flawless and smooth”.

Announcing the development through a video on Twitter, Tewari said: “The second wave of COVID-19 can be even more dangerous than the first one. My motive behind getting the shot at my Lok Sabha constituency, Sri Anandpur Sahib, is that I want to send out the message that those who are eligible must get the vaccine.”

Tewari said the vaccine had “no reaction, no pain, and would save one from COVID-19.”

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).
