As Covid cases continue to rise, a testing centre for human coronavirus samples has been established at the Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR), Leh.

Apart from utility during the ongoing pandemic, the infrastructure set up can play a pivotal role in enhancing capability to address future bio-threats and also in research activities pertinent to agro-animals diseases.

The facility was inaugurated by RK Mathur, Lieutenant-Governor of Ladakh on Wednesday. Lauding efforts put in by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for establishing the centre at DIHAR, Mathur said this would significantly augment the testing capability in Ladakh.

DIHAR is a laboratory under the DRDO based in Leh, which is engaged in research on cold arid agro-animal technologies to enhance the production of fresh vegetables and animal-origin food. — 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).
