Nurpur, June 28

In order to increase Covid-19 testing, the Health Department installed digital TrueNat diagnostic machine at the Civil Hospital here last evening. Similar machines are also being installed at the Palampur Civil Hospital and Tanda Medical College, Kangra. Local MLA Rakesh Pathania, while inaugurating this testing facility, said the Union Government had given six TrueNat machines to the state, out of which three were being installed in Kangra district alone.

The Covid-19 testing facility through diagnostic machine is being provided to patients free of cost.

Two tests can be conducted at a time and its final report, comprising screening and confirmation for Covid-19, can be procured within two hours. — OC

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).
