Mohali, April 27

The number of beds in the Drug De-addiction and Rehabilitation Centre in Sector 66 would be increased from 50 to 70. Deputy Commissioner Amit Talwar said this during his visit to this centre to review its working.

De-addiction and rehabilitation centres help patients by providing them medicines through OPD. Patients do not have to be hospitalised and can go home after taking medicines.

The DC said his visit was meant to review the stock of medicines being provided to the patients at the centre besides checking the status of facilities. He said considering the number of patients admitted to the centre, it was decided to increase the number of beds from the current 50 beds to 70.

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).
