Chandigarh, June 12

To ensure adequate blood availability in the region, the Society United for Kindling Health (SUKH) Foundation on Saturday organised a blood and organ donation camp at Community Centre in Sector 22.

The camp was inaugurated by Prof Vipin Koushal, Additional Medical Superintendent, PGI, and Prof Santosh Kumar, Department of Urology, PGI. The duo was accompanied by Dr Pranay Mahajan, Joint Director, ROTTO, PGI. Professor Kumar encouraged others by donating blood and pledging his organs in the camp. The camp witnessed 70 blood and 40 organ donations.

The event was also supported by Geeta Kailash Memorial Foundation, which distributes free medicines in tricity. People who had recently recovered from Covid also signed up to donate plasma at the PGI.

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).
