Chandigarh, May 28

Almost two and a half years after a man died at the Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16, the UT police have registered a case against a doctor. According to the police, a woman resident of Sector 35 had alleged that her husband Sourav Gautam visited the hospital on November 21, 2021.

He was not provided the required medical assistance by Dr Gurnam, Emergency Medical Officer (EMO), and other hospital staff at the Emergency, she alleged.

The police investigated the matter, sought a legal opinion and finally registered a case under Section 304-A (causing death by negligence) at the Sector 17 police station.

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).
