Bathinda, May 20

AIIMS-Bathinda was left with only one day of oxygen due to an issue between the suppliers and the hospital management over high pricing of the life-saving gas.

Bathinda MP Harsimrat Badal posted a message on Twitter, showing her concern over the matter. “Just spoke to Punjab health secy & Bathinda DC to sort out #Oxygen rate contract issue between the supplier & #AIIMS immediately. AIIMS Bathinda has only a day’s supply of O2 left for 70 critical #Covid patients. With highest death rate in Bathinda, oxygen is crucial to save their lives.”

“It’s ironic that Govt of Pb through a circular caps the #Oxygen rate at Rs 175/cylinder, inclusive of transportation & loading etc. but supplier now refusing to provide cylinders below Rs 350. When will govt end this rampant profiteering at the cost of people’s lives?” she wrote.

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).
