Chandigarh: A 53-year-old Phase 7 factory worker, Subhash Pandey, died due to the alleged “medical negligence” of the ESI Hospital. Pandey was brought dead to a private hospital in Phase 1 on Friday evening. Earlier, he was rushed to the ESI Hospital where doctors later referred him to a private hospital. “If there would have been proper medical facility available at the ESI Hospital, he would have been saved,” said a social worker. Pandey was a resident of Ambedkar Colony in Balongi. Meanwhile, ESI Hospital officials denied any medical negligence in the case. TNS

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).
