Following the death of three policemen from the Covid-19 virus over the past few days, the Mumbai police have sent its personnel above the age of 55 and those with pre-existing ailments on paid leave.

Police personnel above the age of 55 and those above the age of 52 with medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension and other ailments have been asked to stay at home, Deputy Commissioner of Police Pranay Ashok said in a statement here today.

The officer said while a 52-year old head constable died on Saturday, two others, both aged 57, died on Sunday and Monday, respectively. All the three deceased personnel had pre-existing ailments which worsened their medical condition, Ashok said.

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).
