Over 10 days after being admitted to the PGIMER, woman bus attendant of Carmel Convent School, Sector 9, Sheela has been taken off ventilator support. The patient, who had slipped into coma after suffering a severe head injury, is still maintaining “M65” coma status. As per medical officials of the institute, the patient has starting showing some response, but was still comatose. She is maintaining stable blood pressure and is haemodynamically (functioning of blood circulation) stable.

Around 30 students are organising a fundraiser in Sector 9 for the family of the 40-year-old patient. The school authorities have consented to foot the medical bill for the attendant’s treatment at the PGIMER.

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).
