Amritsar, August 21

The District Health Department has deputed a surveillance team at the Attari Integrated border Check-Post (ICP) in view of the monkeypox threat. Health officials said a team would keep an eye on persons arriving at Attari and intervene only if they felt that someone was sick.

Civil Surgeon Dr Sumit Singh said in the last two days, doctors deputed at the ICP had not come across anyone who had fever or any other symptoms related to monkeypox. He said the team was deployed at the ICP as a precautionary measure and there was no need to panic.

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).
