On the first day of the three-day pulse polio immunisation drive, Civil Surgeon Dr Gurpreet Singh Rai flagged off a rally from his office on Sunday to deliver its message to the people. The rally was attended by the officials and employees of the Health Department besides representatives of social organisations and others. The Civil Surgeon said 1,45,747 children up to the age of five years are to be immunised across the district.

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).
