New Delhi, May 9

As India battles Covid, relief from foreign countries continues to pour in. “The global community has extended a helping hand to India in battling the pandemic,” said the government.

A total of 6,738 oxygen concentrators, 3,856 oxygen cylinders, 16 oxygen generation plants, 4,668 ventilators and three lakh Remdesivir vials have been delivered by various countries since April 27.

The relief material received on May 8 from Canada, Thailand, Austria, Czech Republic, Israel, USA, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands and the Indian community in Thailand includes oxygen concentrators (2,404), Remdesivir (25,000), ventilators (218) and testing kits (6,92,208).

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).
