The Department of Dietetics, PGIMER, observed the World Anti-Obesity Day by organising a special anti-obesity clinic for the patients visiting various medicine OPD’s covering endo, gastro and bariatric surgery.

Dieticians from the department disseminated structured diet plans, along with proper nutritional counseling to the beneficiaries. The day was observed to create awareness about the most serious diseases as well as their root causes.

Dr Nancy Sahni, Chief Dietician, Department of Dietetics, said, “Central obesity or excessive fat accumulation presents a health risk at any stage of life, but it can be well reversed by treating the root cause of the disease.”

Prof Ashutosh Rastogi from the Department of Endocrinology and Prof Pankaj Arora, DMS, Hospital Administration , also interacted with the patients.

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).
