A district-level task force meeting was held in Chamba on Thursday to review preparations for the upcoming Intensive Diarrhoea and Pneumonia Control (IDPC) fortnight. The meeting aimed to strategise efforts to achieve zero mortality due to diarrhoea and pneumonia among children aged 0 to 5 years. Chamba Chief Medical Officer Dr Bipin Thakur stated that the IDPC fortnight will be conducted in three phases this year. The second phase is scheduled for November 18 to December 2. District Health Officer Dr Jalam Bhardwaj said special attention will be given to vulnerable groups, including nomadic families, children at construction sites and migrant communities.

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).
