The Varanasi airport has handled transportation of 1,800 kgs of Covid-19 vaccine till date, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said on Monday.

“Movement of more than 128 oxygen concentrators from various cities e.g. Delhi and Mumbai and movement of Covid patients through charter and medical flights to major cities (was also handled at Varanasi airport) till date,” the AAI’s statement 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).
