A 36-year-old married woman, Sunita, died while undergoing treatment for gallstones at a private hospital today. Family members alleged negligence on the part of doctor and registered a DDR at the Dhakoli police station.

The victim's husband Ajay Kumar stated that on the evening of June 6, her wife complained of severe stomach ache and was admitted to a private hospital at Dhakoli. On June 7 evening, the doctors took her to the operation theatre, and early on June 8 asked the family members to take her to the PGI or a private hospital.

The family members suspected that Sunita had died. Cops said a DDR has been registered and further action would be taken after the post-mortem examination.

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).
