New Delhi, February 3

Seventyseven lakh persons, without any valid identity cards, have been administered the first dose and 14.55 lakh both doses of Covid-19 vaccine, the Centre told the Supreme Court on Thursday.

As Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati shared the data, a Bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud pointed out that according to the Centre’s affidavit only 4.82 lakh people, without any ID card, had been vaccinated.

Bhati clarified the affidavit was filed in August last year and that she was sharing the updated figures.—

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).
