The government has placed Dr Prabhu Dayal, Deputy Civil Surgeon-cum-Nodal Officer (PNDT), Hisar, under suspension with immediate effect.

The suspension comes in the wake of a sting operation by a private news channel that exposed alleged involvement of Civil Hospital staff (Hisar) in female foeticide.

According to the order issued by Sudhir Rajpal, Additional Chief Secretary to the Government of Haryana (Health Department), Dr Dayal would be stationed at the Office of the Civil Surgeon, Bhiwani, during the suspension period, and receive subsistence allowance as per Rule 83 of the Haryana Civil Services (General) Rules, 2016.

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).
