The third “Oxygen Express” carrying 42.10 MT liquid medical oxygen will reach Phillaur tomorrow. Rajesh Aggarwal, Divisional Railway Manager, said the Northern Railway had been operating these trains to ensure oxygen for Covid patients.

He said the special train having two cryogenic tanks full of liquid medical oxygen started its journey from Bokaro in Jharkhand yesterday at 11 pm and was expected to reach Phillaur by tomorrow. He said this train would cover 1,400 km. “As this liquid oxygen has to be transported in a limited time period, the authorities have made all arrangements accordingly,” he said. — OC

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).
