Dr Rajnish Kumar took charge as the new Senior Medical Officer (SMO) at the Civil Hospital here on Thursday. Speaking on the occasion, Dr Rajnish Kumar assured that all doctors and staff would work with dedication for the welfare of patients. He emphasised that his priority would be to ensure timely treatment, better patient facilities and compassionate care for everyone visiting the hospital.

“I am committed to providing personalised and patient-friendly medical service,” he said. The Civil Hospital here has two posts of SMOs. One of these was lying vacant as Dr Swaranjit Dhawan was recently elevated to the position of Civil Surgeon.

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).
