Fourteen cases of dengue were reported in the district today, taking the number to 1,276. More than 100 samples were tested, said Health Department officials.

Awareness programmes and a survey were conducted in the villages under the Primary Health Centre, Boothgarh. Senior Medical Officer Alakjot Kaur said wherever a case of dengue came to light, health teams went from house to house in the vicinity of that place and sprayed anti-mosquito solution. “The most effective way to avoid a life-threatening disease like dengue is not to allow water to collect anywhere and people have been made aware of this for the past several months,” she said.

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).
