Chandigarh, May 18

To counter the monkey menace at the Sardar Patel Covid Care Centre in New Delhi, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has placed pictures of baboons and langoors in and around the premises.

Monkeys in the centre have been seen in groups attacking people deployed at the centre, specifically the ones in PPE kits, ITBP spokesperson said.

He said pictures have helped in keeping the monkeys away from the centre.

ITBP is running a 500-bed facility to treat civilian patients who have contracted Covid.

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).
