Amritsar, February 4

After the recent appointment of a neurosurgeon, doctors and medical staff at Government Medical College (GMC) here saved the life of a two-month-old child suffering from hydrocephalus, a condition in which fluid accumulates in the brain resulting in enlargement of the brain and causing brain injury.

The child’s mother had died due to a heart condition and her father noticed increase in the size of her head along with vomiting and lethargy. The child was shifted to GMC where doctors performed the surgery. The officials said it was the first neurosurgery performed on a child as young as two-month-old at the GMC.

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).
