A patient undergoing treatment for cancer reportedly jumped from the balcony of his ward on the second floor of PGIMS, Rohtak, on Saturday.

The patient’s son maintained that his father had lost his patience, and tried to end his life.

“My father, Suresh Kumar, recently underwent surgery for throat cancer and is on medication. He has been undergoing treatment for a long time. Hence, he probably got fed up and jumped from the balcony,” said Pradeep, the son of the patient.

As per PGIMS officials, the patient is under treatment and out of danger.

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).
