Sun Foundation on Wednesday said it has donated 200 oxygen concentrators to Punjab to deal with the cases of rising COVID infections in the state.

The foundation’s chairman Vikramjit Sahney said the concentrators are being donated to respective Deputy Commissioners for use by the needy and poor.

“We have donated additional 200 Oxygen Concentrators for Punjab for most affected districts like Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala, Bhatinda and Hoshiarpur,” he said in a statement.

In addition, he said 100 concentrators were donated to SGPC and 500 to various hospitals and COVID care centres in Delhi. PTI

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).
