Amritsar, March 31

Employees Welfare Association at Civil Hospital here has appealed the chief minister to look into the issue of non-availability of medicines at hospitals.

In a letter to the CM, the association said he had made a statement that a certain kind of medicines would be given free to patients at all government hospitals after January 26. The association stated even after two months, these medicines were not available at the hospitals.

Association leader Rakesh Sharma said, “The government had also issued funds for purchase of medicines, but it is not clear why these were not made available to the public.”

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).
