The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Vedanta to operate its oxygen production unit on standalone basis at its copper plant at Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu in view of a national need for oxygen to save Covid-19 patients.

The plant had been closed for three years due to environmental reasons. The order came from a Bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud that said the plant would be operated for production of medical grade oxygen only.

The order will continue till July 31 and further decision would be taken after assessing the ground situation with respect to Covid, it said. — TNS

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).
