The Panchkula Civil Surgeon, Dr Jasjeet Kaur, on Sunday launched the polio campaign at an anganwadi centre in Ashiana Colony, Sector 20, by administering anti-polio drops to children. The drive is to last till November 3. “High-risk areas such as brick-kilns, industrial areas, construction sites, stone-crushing and mining areas, slums where mostly migrant population reside will be covered,” she said.

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).
