Chandigarh, February 23

Hospitals in Chandigarh have not yet resumed elective surgeries in view of uncertainty over the power crisis.

Dr Suman Singh, Director, Health Services, Chandigarh, said, “The surgeries require proper planning and in view of the ongoing crisis it is too risky to resume elective surgeries. However, emergency services will remain open.”

Power was restored in hospitals on Tuesday afternoon after 7-8 hours of outage.

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).
