The senior medical officer (SMO) of the Subdivisional Hospital, Kalka, has alleged an illegal termination of pregnancy by a couple.

According to the FIR, the SMO alleged in the complaint that Manju Bala and her husband Ravi Kumar of Rathpur Colony in Pinjore had visited the hospital around 10 am on Tuesday. The officer stated that they reported the use of an MTP kit at their home.

Manju stated that she was six-seven week pregnant when her husband bought the MTP kit through his friend, identified as Virender, a resident of Kurukshetra. When the medical officer enquired about it from Ravi Kumar, he confirmed that he had bought the kit from his friend for Rs450. Virender had purchased it from someone in Mohali, Punjab. The police have booked Ravi Kumar and his friend, along with several unknown persons. — 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).
