Deputy Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori has asked the Health Department to launch a comprehensive campaign to prevent the outbreak of vector-borne diseases during the rainy season. Today, during a meeting with the Civil Surgeon he discussed diseases caused by contaminated water. He instructed the Water Supply and Sanitation Departments to ensure there was no waterlogging or contamination of water due to leakage in supply lines.

Notably, a large number of residents contracted vector-borne diseases (dengue and chikungunya) last year during the monsoon season.

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).
