As COVID 19 cases across Gujarat continued surging making the state the second highest contributor to national load after Maharashtra, the Centre despatched a two member team to Ahmedabad to help local doctors with management.

AIIMS New Delhi chief Randeep Guleria and assistant professor of medicine at AIIMS will land in Ahmedabad on Friday and visor COVID hospitals in the city on Saturday to take stock of cases and response.

Gujarat has 7012 COVID cases as of Friday with an addition of nearly 767 cases since on Thursday.

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).
