Chandigarh, September 22

A day after a 30-year-old woman died while undergoing a minor operation for tooth extraction at HSJ Dental College and Hospital, Panjab University, her kin lodged a complaint with the police today.

The victim, Shrimati, a resident of Mohali, was given local anaesthesia after which she complained of breathlessness and collapsed.

An anaesthetist, medicine consultant and senior dental surgeons were on duty. The doctors tried to revive her by cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but in vain.

The police said the victim’s autopsy was conducted at the Government Multi-Specialty Hospital, Sector 16, and the body handed over to her kin. “We will wait for the autopsy report before taking further action,” said the police.

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).
