Solan, June 4

In a bid to ramp up testing, the second RT-PCR machine was installed at the Covid laboratory of Dr YS Parmar Government Medical College at Nahan in Sirmaur district today.

“The installation of this machine will double the capacity of testing samples from 94 to 188 per run. One run takes about two hours and the machine runs for almost 14 hours a day,” said Deputy Commissioner, Sirmaur, Dr RK Pruthi. As many as 1.20 lakh samples have been tested in the college’s Covid laboratory since its inception on June 10 last year. The samples were earlier sent to the Kasauli-based Central Research Institute’s laboratory. — 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).
