Chandigarh, June 10

Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday shared a video message of “Flying Sikh” Milkha Singh urging people to fight the deadly disease, coronavirus.

Sharing the clip on the micro-blogging website, the Chief Minister thanked Milkha Singh for his time and support.

In the 53-second clip, Milkha Singh requested people to wear their masks and wash their hands at least 3-4 times a day.

“Sharing an appeal by our ‘Flying Sikh’ Milkha Singh Ji. Thank you Milkha Singh Ji for your time and support. I am sure all Punjabis will respond to your appeal and take necessary precautions against #Covid19 in our #MissionFateh,” the post read.

Reactions:

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).
