Amritsar, November 16

The district Health Department is observing dental fortnight from November 14 to 29. During this, free dental check up camps and awareness events would be organised.

District Dental Officer Dr Jaganjot Kaur said the department would also provide dentures free of cost to 160 poor patients during the fortnight.

She said they expect over 10,000 people to benefit from the camps organised by the department. Dr Kaur said the medical teams would also visit schools and check dental health of the students.

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).
