The Department of Microbiology, PU, today organised a webinar on “Promotion of Scientific Temper among People of India” to spread awareness among the public about the current pandemic situation.

Prof Randeep Guleria, Director, AIIMS, New Delhi, spoke on “What the pandemic has taught us and where do we go from here?”

He discussed the reasons behind the emergence of the devastating second wave and that there was an urgent requirement to invest in public health services.

Dr Guleria emphasised that Covid-19 appropriate behavior could help prevent a third wave.

Dr Guleria, meanwhile, said the Covid-19 pandemic “is not over nor is it going to end soon”. People should get vaccinated in order to avoid a third wave, he said.

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).
