Chandigarh, March 14

Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij on Saturday linked Covid outbreak to non- vegetarian diet and advised people to be vegetarian.

“Shakahari bano. Tarah-tarah ke jeev-jantu khakar corona jaise virus paidakar ke manav jaati ke liye khatra paida na karo (Be vegetarian. Do not create viruses like coronavirus that pose danger to mankind by eating meat of different animals,” the minister tweeted.

Interestingly, amid rumours that Covid spreads through non-vegetarian food, Union Fisheries, Dairying and Animal Husbandry Minister Giriraj Singh had, a few days back, asked people not to pay attention to those.

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).
