Una, December 21

Rural Development Minister Virender Kanwar launched 24×7 emergency health services at the Community Health Centre (CHC) at Thanakalan village in Bangana subdivision of the district today. The CHC is at present providing only medical services during the day and patients in emergency have to travel to the Una district hospital, located 18 km away, for treatment.

Kanwar said that a digital X-ray machine would also be made available at the CHC within a fortnight. Later, the minister inspected the ongoing construction work of the new CHC building at Thanakalan village at a cost of Rs 6 crore. He added that the building would be completed within a year.

Kanwar said that one of the six tele-medicine centres proposed to be set up in the state under the aegis of the Rural Development Department would come up at Thanakalan. — OC

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).
