The Central Animal Facility at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research commenced a national workshop on “Laboratory Animals in Pharmaceutical Research: Ethics, Techniques and Regulations” from August 21 to 23.

Dr Digamber Behera, director of pulmonology at Fortis Hospital, Mohali, and Padma Shri awardee was the chief guest at workshop, aimed to promote responsible research.

Behera congratulated the organisers and said the use of animals in research was justified for scientific advancement. He noted animal experimentation has a long history and highlighted the “three Rs” of responsible use, namely, replacement of animals with alternative models; reduction in the number of animals used’ and refinement of procedures to minimise pain and encourage non-invasive methods.

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).
