In a seminar organised at the local Majha College for Women on Wednesday, the local district chapter of the Inner Wheel Club celebrated ‘Dhiyan Di Lohri’ and motivated young girls for vaccination against cervical cancer. Dr Monika Gupta, president of the club, said that the universal cervical cancer vaccination of girls from age 9 to 15 years is the need of the hour. She explained in detail about the causes, signs and symptoms of cervical cancer.

Dr Sukhbir Kaur, District Health Officer, Tarn Taran, talked about menstrual hygiene and its importance in protection from cervical cancer. The girls clarified their queries about the cervical cancer and the various myths surrounding its vaccine.

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).
