The Covid-19 cases in India have reached close to 11 lakh and while government continues to advise people to take precautionary measures, many are still not following social distancing. Kettan Singh says people, who are not maintaining social distancing, will have to pay a heavy price.

“It is sad that people still don’t realise how important it is to follow social distancing. This is the only way to defeat coronavirus. I don’t know what are they thinking but I would like to say that these people are really stupid,” he said.

Talking about the precautions he is taking, the actor adds, “I am doing the basics. I always carry a sanitizer. I always have my mask on and I even carry an extra mask.”

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).
