Facing a shortage of blood in Rohtak district in wake of the ongoing lockdown, various local social and religious organisations have joined hands to conduct blood donation camps

“Six blood donation camps have been organised during the lockdown and we have been able to procure more than 450 units of blood,” says Manjul Paliwal, convener of the NGO Coordination Committee–Covid-19

Prof Gajender Singh, who heads the Rohtak PGIMS blood bank, says the recent donation camps have helped in maintaining the stock of blood

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).
