Amritsar, October 4

The district health department is observing a dental fortnight from October 3 to October 18 during which it will provide free consultation and treatment to the general public. Officials of the health department stated that the residents can avail the benefits at all government dental health clinics in the district.

Civil Surgeon Dr Vijay Kumar said that the objective of the event is to create awareness about dental hygiene and dental problems as generally people ignore them till the situation has worsened. He added that the department would also provide 200 dentures free of cost to needy patients during the fortnight.

The Civil Surgeon added that teams would also visit schools for dental check-up of the students. He added that over 10,000 people are expected to benefit from the free dental check-ups.

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).
