Chandigarh, February 22

The Haryana Government is providing better healthcare facilities to people by strengthening medical infrastructure and providing necessary medicines. Currently, 413 medicine components are available in the warehouse of Haryana Medical Services Corporation Limited (HMSCL).

In addition to this, approximately 500 medicine components are available in each district. About Rs 37 crore has been allocated to HMSCL under the state budget for centralised procurement of essential medicines in the current financial year. An official spokesperson stated that HMSCL had been established to strengthen the system of medicine procurement, for uninterrupted and hassle-free supply of essential medicines. Seven warehouses had been established in the state for proper storage and distribution of medicines and consumables.

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).
