Chandigarh, May 30

The Haryana Police have registered 38 cases of black marketing of medical-related facilities in which 76 persons have been arrested and sent behind bars during the ongoing Covid pandemic.

Giving this information here today, a Haryana Police spokesman said amid the outbreak of the second wave of Covid, the demand for medical oxygen and life-saving drugs had gone up.

Director General of Police (DGP) Manoj Yadava said the government’s collective efforts to break the infection chain and enforcement by the police had led to reduction in the black marketing of Covid drugs and oxygen cylinders.

Police teams are continuously taking stern action to curb such illegal activities. A large number of injections and oxygen cylinders had also been recovered, the DGP added.

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).
