Chandigarh, April 9

With private labs closed due to the curfew, GMCH-32 Director today directed three departments to start carrying out various tests, including HIV, malaria, thyroid, biopsy, bone marrow, lipid profile, special hemotology, iron profile and others. Patients were stuck as neither could they get these tests done at the GMCH nor at private labs.

It has also been directed that those patients, who are admitted in the hospital and are facing hardships due to the curfew, should be treated poor free and diet free. — 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).
