A kidney was transported through a green corridor from Jalandhar to Mohali to give a new lease of life to a 62-year-old male patient from Kurukshetra who underwent a cadaveric kidney transplant at Livasa Hospital in Mohali today.

The two kidneys of a brain dead patient were harvested at Shriman Hospital, Jalandhar, by a team of doctors led by Dr Avinash Srivastava, director, urology & renal transplant at Livasa Hospital.

The kidney was brought to Mohali through a green corridor with the help of the Punjab Police and local administrations of Jalandhar, Phagwara, Nawanshahr, Ropar and Mohali for swift and safe shifting of organs. Another kidney was transported to Aykai Hospital Ludhiana by creating a different green corridor.

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).
