The Patti sub-jail has been made drug-free with the efforts of the jail authorities. Jail Superintendent Amar Singh claimed here on Wednesday that no inmate of the jail was taking tablets from the OOAT centre established in the jail premises. The Jail Superintendent claimed that from September 1, 2024 till date, as many as 225 inmates have kicked addiction through psychotherapy and counselling.

The Health Department too has confirmed that the OOAT centre in the jail has not been demanding tablets for inmates.

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).
