The local medics continue their protest in solidarity with the doctors protesting at the RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata against the alleged rape and murder of a resident doctor. Doctors of the PGI conducted open OPDs at the protest site outside the Bhargava Auditorium. They also held a blood donation drive where 80 units were collected.

“We examined around 200 patients in the open OPDs till 3 pm. A flash mob was performed outside a major mall in Industrial Area to encourage the public to join the noble cause of demanding justice for our colleague,” said a protesting doctor.

A total of 4,593 patients were registered at the OPDs in the PGI, while 168 were admitted to the emergency and trauma OPD wards.

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).
