Amritsar, November 16

The district Health Department on Thursday organised an event to mark World Diabetes Day to create awareness about the health condition of residents. Speaking on the occasion, Civil Surgeon Dr Vijay Kumar said diabetes is known as a silent killer, but the problem is easily preventable and manageable.

The Civil Surgeon said in the present times, physical inactivity is the biggest reason behind the condition and it can be easily overcome by changing dietary habits and including exercise in the daily routine.

Health experts said a person should indulge in physical activity (at least for 40 minutes) such as walking, jogging or light exercise to stay fit. They said a person should get his medical check-up done after every six months to ascertain that he or she has no underlying health conditions.

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).
