Ludhiana, January 22

Former Punjab chief minister Prakash Singh Badal, who tested positive for Covid-19 a few days ago, developed fever on Saturday and remained under observation in the hospital.

The 94-year-old Shiromani Akali Dal patriarch was admitted to the Dayanand Medical College and Hospital on Wednesday.

Dr Bishav Mohan, who is attending on Badal, said, “He has developed fever today and continues to remain under observation in the hospital”.

He, however, said his condition is satisfactory.

On January 20, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had spoken to the veteran Akali leader to enquire about his health.

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).
