In a move aimed at promoting mental peace and faster recovery among patients, the authorities at the Pt BD Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) here have chalked out a plan to instal a centralised sound system in all hospital wards for playing devotional music every morning from 5 am to 7 am.

Officials believe that devotional music can contribute to early recovery by creating a calm and positive atmosphere across the hospital wards having a total over 2,100 beds. “The initiative is designed to transfer good messages and improve patient morale during their stay,” said Dr Kundan Mittal, medical superintendent, PGIMS.

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).
