Chandigarh, July 23

Aam Aadmi Party senior leader and Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema, expressing concern over the “poor condition” of Covid-19 care centres in the state, alleged that due to incompetence and inept handling of the situation, the government-run centres were rather unsafe for patients.

In a statement, Cheema claimed that the Covid care centres in Bathinda, Mansa and Sanghera (Barnala) were in a pitiable condition, where doctors and paramedical staff were fighting the big battle against the epidemic without essential safety kits.

He said that the patients suffering from other ailments were suffering due to acute shortage of medicines at these centres, which was a bigger worry.

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).
