The Abohar-Bikaner-Jodhpur train, referred to as ‘Cancer Express’, suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic on March 22 last year, resumed its operations today.

Hundreds of patients had been travelling to avail almost free cancer treatment facility at Prince Bijay Singh Memorial (PBM) Hospital in Bikaner.

North Western Railway Chief PRO Gaurav Gaur said the 02486 Sriganganagar-Abohar-Delhi-Nanded biweekly train had also been restored. The Sriganganagar-Abohar-Bathinda passenger train had been restored too, said Abohar station in charge Gopal Bansal. — OC

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).
