The Municipal Corporation (MC) in association with the Centre for One Health, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU), Ludhiana, and Dayanand Medical College & Hospital (DMCH), Ludhiana, conducted one-day sensitisation workshop at the MC slaughterhouse here today.

The event was organised under the aegis of the Indian Council of Medical Research project titled ‘Building a Surveillance Model for Detecting Zoonotic Spillover in Increased Animal-Human Interaction Settings Using a One Health Approach: A Study at Selected slaughterhouses’.

The workshop was inaugurated by Dr Inderdeep Kaur, Medical Officer (Health), MC; Dr JS Bedi, Director, Centre for One Health; Dr Veenu Gupta, Professor, Microbiology, and Dr Harmanmeet Kaur from ICMR. Over 30 slaughterhouse personnel attended the workshop.

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).
