Shakti Foundation, a Delhi-based NGO, in collaboration with the health and family welfare authorities of Kangra district, today distributed 116 ‘ASHA shakti kits’ to workers for their contribution in tackling the second wave of the Covid pandemic.

Kangra District Programme Officer (Health) Dr RK Sood and Block Medical Officer, Indora, Dr Vijay Kalia were present.

A safety kit comprises two oximeters, two digital thermometers, 100 latex gloves, an apron, 50 cotton fabric masks, 50 triple layer surgical masks and a face shield.

Rajiv Ahal, official representative of the NGO, said these safety kits had been especially designed to empower and equip ASHA workers to fight the pandemic.

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).
