Chandigarh, July 6

A woman patient from Karnal allegedly hanged herself in a washroom of the Government Multi-Speciality Hospital, Sector 16 (GMSH-16), here today.

According to the authorities concerned, the patient, Rajwinder Kaur was suffering from chronic myeloid leukaemia. She was admitted to the GMSH-16 on July 4.

She was undergoing chemotherapy at the PGI and was shifted to the GMSH-16 for the treatment of anaemia.

Rajwinder had undergone blood transfusion once. Around 4 pm today, she went to the washroom and hanged herself from the shower with her “dupatta”.

The hospital staff immediately tried to revive her, but in vain. The hospital authorities informed the police about the incident.

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).
