Rohtak, August 24

Resident doctors of PGIMS, Rohtak, who had been on a strike since August 13 in protest against the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at a medical college in Kolkata and to press for the provision of adequate security arrangements on their own campus, have ended their agitation.

As per an official statement, the Resident Doctors’ Association (RDA) of the PGIMS decided to end its strike and resume duties with effect from 10 pm on Saturday. “All demands pertaining to campus security have been duly addressed and amicable solutions have been reached,” said the statement. Meanwhile, the PGIMS authorities have decided to condone the strike period of the protesters.

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).
