Chandigarh, July 17

The Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation (IRSDC) has installed a digital Covid-19 precaution kiosk for automatic vending of masks, sanitisers and gloves at platform number 1 of the Chandigarh Railway Station.

IRSDC Chief General Manager Balbir Singh said the machine had been installed at all five railway stations, which are being developed by the corporations, across the country.

“The idea is to make Covid-19 precaution gear available to passengers and Railway staff, whosoever visits the platform,” he said.

The machine has been installed on a licence fee basis to a Maharashtra-based vendor – M/s Ladder 2 Rise.

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).
