The Army has provided food, water and other basic amenities to labourers stranded at Dogrian while travelling from Srinagar to Thanamandi via Poshana.

These daily wagers ran out of food, water and other essentials due to the lockdown. The Army provided them with supplies, including rations, water, soap, medicines and protection kits, consisting of masks, gloves and hand sanitisers.

The labourers were also provided with hot food and tea. They were also educated on precautionary measures to prevent Covid. These people were later shifted to a quarantine facility established by the civil administration. They thanked the Army for providing help.

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).
