Chandigarh, September 5

Representatives of the Joint Action Committee, GMSH-16, held a meeting on the hospital premises regarding the repatriation of doctors from Punjab and Haryana to their parent states.

“The term deputation is used but it is not a deputation in true sense as no doctor is getting any deputation allowance.

“Frequent and shifting of doctors over short periods will impact the sacred bond between patients and doctors, to the disadvantage of residents of Chandigarh only. The policy of deputation was formulated in old times when the GMSH-16 was just a general hospital,” read a letter to the Director, Health and Family Welfare, UT, by the association.

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).
