In continuation of its “Neighbourhood First’ policy, India on Friday sent a consignment of medical aid to Nepal.

India has sent medical aid worth USD 2 million, consisting of medicines and vaccines for patients with thalassemia and sickle cell disease, in response to a request from Nepal, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.

The MEA spokesperson said the first tranche of 17,030 vials of vaccines for the immunisation of thalassemia patients has been handed over to Nepal.

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).
