Chandigarh, April 28

The UT Administration has ordered fire safety audit in all health facilities. The exercise needs to be completed in the next 15 days.

“Considering that the medical oxygen is highly supportive to combustion, there is a need to be extra careful for fire safety in all health facilities i.e. both in the government sector and the private sector, especially during the ongoing summer season,” Health Secretary Yashpal Garg said in the order.

“All medical and paramedical staff need to be sensitised to ensure that fire exits remain clear all time and should not be blocked by idle stretchers/trolleys,” it further stated.

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).
