Rana Hospital received recognition for holding the longest unbroken medical record from the World Record Union. In 2013, Dr Hitender Suri performed 391 surgeries with a time of 8 hours and 45 minutes. The record was added to the Limca Book of Record and in 2023 was registered in the World Book of Records, London.

On its 12th anniversary, it has not earned recognition as the longest unbroken medical record from the World Record Union.

Suri has bagged a total of 23 national and international records over the years, including the Dhanwantri Award (2019)—the highest honour in the field of Ayurveda and the State Award 2025.

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).
