Abohar, May 10

With 39 Covid-positive persons, most of them Nanded pilgrims, accommodated in the 100-bed isolation centre in Jalalabad, 60 km from here, the district administration has decided to develop second such centre here.

As desired by the SSP, the administration will also set up a separate quarantine facility in Arorvansh Dharamshala for police personnel since they come in direct contact with returnees from other districts and states.

SDM Jaspal Singh Brar said the complex of Maa Saraswati College of Pharmacy located near the city bypass on Seetogunno Road was to be developed as Covid care centre with ultra-modern facilities to accommodate 200 patients.

Brar said concerted efforts were being made to deal with Coviid cases and to treat and take better care of the infected patients, it was considered fit to develop another centre here.

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).
