Ghaziabad, April 24

Serving the humanity is the core mantra that has been driving vice-president of the Ghaziabad Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee Gurpreet Singh as he has started a unique initiative of “oxygen langar” to help Covid-19 patients amid severe shortage of medical oxygen in the country.

Amid SOS calls and messages for oxygen cylinders and concentrations flooding social media platform, Singh Saheb (as he is lovingly called) said, “We have started ‘oxygen langar’ on the premises of Indirapuram Gurdwara in Ghaziabad. On a daily average for the past one week we have been providing life-saving facility to 70 to 90 persons on demand.”

For the purpose, the gurdwara has also brought out a helpline number 9097041313.

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).
