Mandi, June 30

The state government has appointed three specialist doctors at district hospital, Keylong. A notification was issued on June 27.

The Tribune had highlighted the issue of seven posts of doctor lying vacant in Keylong hospital on June 25. Due to that the residents of the Lahaul valley were denied proper medical service.

Of the seven vacant posts of specialists, the state government has filled three posts appointing a radiologist, a paediatrician and an orthopaedic surgeon in the district hospital.

The residents of Lahaul have appreciated the decision of the state government. Kunga Bodh, a member of Zila Parishad Lahaul and Spiti, said, “We urge the government to fill the remaining four posts also. These posts are of gynaecologist, general surgeon, ENT and anaesthetist. There is a need to strengthen health services in Lahaul.

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).
