Chandigarh, February 8

The Chandigarh Administration today decided to inoculate 2,400 beneficiaries at 12 existing vaccination sites so that the targeted population is covered in the stipulated time.

At the vaccination sites, 200 beneficiaries will be called for on a daily basis. So far, the frontline workers’ turnout in the UT stands at 66.9 per cent, while the overall percentage of beneficiaries turnout is 45 per cent.

Against the target of 1,151 beneficiaries, 382 were inoculated on Monday. In March, the focus of the drive will shift to the elderly (above 50 years). The data from the electoral rolls has been fetched by the Centre and will be uploaded on Co-WIN.

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).
