Rampur, May 22

The Animal Husbandry Department, in collaboration with voluntary organisations, initiated an anti-rabies vaccination campaign for stray dogs in the Rampur area of Shimla district. The aim of the drive is to prevent the spread of the deadly disease, primarily transmitted through dog bites, which affect 97 per cent of the cases. Rampur Animal Polyclinic in-charge Dr Anil Sharma said the drive was carried out in the Rampur market, Indira Market, Chuha Bagh and surrounding areas.

The campaign is being jointly conducted by the Animal Husbandry Department, the Human People Organisation and the Rampur Municipal Council. On Monday, the first day of the drive, 42 dogs were administered the anti-rabies vaccine.

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).
