Mohali, August 25

Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu today launched the state-level National Deworming Day (NDD) campaign at a government senior secondary school in Bakarpur village in Mohali.

The minister said all children in the age group of 1-19 years would be administered Albendazole tablets free of cost during the drive. He said children who could not be dewormed due to absenteeism or sickness would be given the tablet on September 1.

Unregistered and out-of-school children would also be dewormed at the Anganwari centres and schools. — TNS

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).
