Zirakpur, October 18

Four days after a local AAP leader allegedly misbehaved with him at the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Dhakoli, Dr Rajesh Kumar sat on a hunger strike inside the hospital this morning, seeking security for the hospital staff from attendants of patients.

Dr Rajesh and Dr Mehtab Singh staged a sit-in yesterday demanding strict action against the attendants who had misbehaved with the former on October14.

The AAP leader, Sonal Pandit, reached the hospital and tried to pacify the protesting doctors, but to no avail. Health officials, including the Civil Surgeon, too reached there. Talks with the protesting doctors, however, remained inconclusive.

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).
