Chandigarh, April 30

Paediatrics Department Head Surjit Singh will continue as the officiating director of the PGIMER until further orders.

A communication in this regard was received from the Union Health Ministry today.

In January, a search-cum-selection committee had interviewed 32 candidates for the post of director. Dr Surjit Singh was given the officiating charge from November 1, 2021, for a period of six months. Prof Jagat Ram retired as PGI Director on October 31.

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).
