Mohali, May 16

The United Sikhs on Saturday handed over utility kits meant for Covid patients at quarantine centres in Mohali to the Health and Family Welfare Minister, Balbir Singh Sidhu.

The kits comprise toothpaste, toothbrush, mosquito repellent, sanitiser, masks, soap, tissue papers, oil, vitamin-C tablets, biscuits and lemon drink.

Sidhu said, “The present situation (Covid-19) is a war-like situation. Frontline warriors, including doctors, medical staff and the police are playing a very crucial role.”

Gurpreet Singh, director, United Sikhs, said, “We will provide such utility kits to all the individuals in every centre in Punjab.” — 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).
