Hoshiarpur, June 12

Hoshiarpur Deputy Commissioner Apneet Riyait on Saturday said under a special initiative, divyangs could get vaccinated at drive-through centres at a dispensary in Nehar Colony on every Wednesday and Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm.

The health teams would administer doses to them in their vehicles on priority. Also, bedridden patients can avail doorstep vaccination facility by sending a WhatsApp message at 78146-40600 and mobile teams of the Health Department would inoculate them at their doorstep.

She said similar practice would be started at other session sites as soon the requisite numbers of vaccine were received.

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).
