France has announced that it will donate high-end ventilators and test kits to India. A French Air Force plane will deliver these on Tuesday.

An expert medical mission on inter-hospital transfers of extremely critical cases will also arrive by the same plane.

In fact, the main focus of the French aid is to enable safe transfer of critically ill Covid patients. The matter was discussed in a letter President of France Emmanuel Macron wrote last week to PM Narendra Modi, said the Embassy of France in a news statement. — 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).
