New Delhi, May 9

Taiwan has provided one million face masks to India to help protect its frontline medical personnel.

The masks were brought to India by a special chartered flight and handed over by Ambassador Chung-Kwang Tien of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center to Neel Kamal Singh, Deputy Secretary-General of Indian Red Cross Society, on May 8, according to a Taiwan Centre news release.

Taiwan has so far sent 25.5 million face masks and other medical supplies to several countries.

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).
