State Home and Health Minister Anil Vij on Thursday launched the second phase of the Malaria Mukt Mewat (MMM) campaign.

On the occasion, Vij said that after the successful completion of the first round of the campaign, the incidence of the disease in the state had declined by 97 per cent. In the second phase, 1.86 lakh people from 62 villages falling under three primary health centres of Ujina, Sudaka and Bai would be tested. — TNS

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).
