New Delhi, July 9

India today crossed the milestone of administering 37 cr Covid shots.

Amid gradually expanding coverage and 41 lakh average daily dose delivery the Congress complained of shortage of vaccines to opposition ruled states.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh tweeted, “Rajasthan has put in place capacity to administer 15 lakh doses A DAY, and has already done 10 lakh doses a day. But Modi govt has allocated only 49 lakh doses to RJ for THE ENTIRE MONTH of July.

How will we vaccinate India if @PMOIndia divides India into BJP and non-BJP states?”

Vaccine coverage as of today is as follows: health workers (87.5 pc first dose, 62.9 pc second dose); frontline staff (90.9 pc first and 50.4 pc second dose); 45 years and above (46.5 pc first dose and 14 pc second dose), 18 to 44 years (17.8 pc first dose).

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).
