New Delhi, February 23

Describing the Omicron variant of Covid-19 as a “silent killer”, Chief Justice of India NV Ramana today said it took a long time to recover from the latest strain.

“I suffered in the first wave and recovered in four days, but now in this wave, it has been 25 days and I am still suffering,” the CJI told the Supreme Court Bar Association president Vikas Singh after the latter requested that the top court now revert to full physical hearing.

The CJI said there was a jump of 15,000 in Omicron cases. As Singh said Omicron was much milder, Justice Ramana said it had been 25 days and he was still suffering. —

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).
