Nuh, May 11

At least four villages in the district have reported outbreak of measles with two cases having been confirmed. As many as 47 suspected cases have surfaced, according to Health Department. Dr Virendra Singh Ahlawat, State Immunisation Officer, who led a team that conducted a field visit to the affected villages, said a total of two cases have been confirmed.

The final report of several cases is yet to come. According to Prabhjot Singh, Mission Director, National Health Mission, initially, three cases were reported by an ASHA worker at a house in Dhandhola village. Eight more cases were reported in the survey in the village in Marora area on May 9 and 10.

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).
