Amritsar, September 17

Three-day polio immunisation drive by the Department of Health and Family Welfare will begin in the district on Sunday.

Health Department officials stated that on the first day of the drive, polio booths would be set up at different places.

On the remaining two days, the department would run a door-to-door immunisation drive for the children who could not be brought to the polio booths. Special booths would be set up in public places such as bus stand and railway station for passengers. Civil Surgeon Dr Charanjit Singh appealed to public to ensure that no child is left unimmunised.

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).
