Chandigarh, May 31

The Congress has reacted sharply to the reported remarks of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar about the “rationing of vaccines” in the state.

“Deliberate delay in administering vaccines is being termed as a strategy. The CM says the government has vaccines, but these will be administered in small numbers over several days. This is the reason why people of Haryana are not able to get the vaccines,” Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted.

Khattar on Monday accused his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal of playing politics over the vaccines, saying the Capital was exhausting its supply too soon, while his own state was stretching it over a longer period. — TNS

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).
