Chandigarh, November 9

Scientists of the Regional Virus Research and Diagnostic Laboratory at the Department of Virology, PGI, have bagged two second best awards for their research work presented in the 30th Annual Convention-cum-International Conference of Indian Virological Society (Virocon-2022) organised at Srinagar on November 5 to 6.

Meenakshi Rana has been awarded for her work “Genetic characterisation of human bocavirus strains isolated from patients with acute lower respiratory tract infections in tertiary care hospital of north India”.

Dr Mannat Kang has been awarded for her work on “Spectrum of adverse maternal, foetal and neonatal outcomes following dengue infection during pregnancy in a tertiary care hospital of north India: Evidence suggestive of perinatal transmission”.

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).
