Una, December 11

Rural Development and Panchayati Raj minister Virender Kanwar today said that five telemedicine centres will be opened in the state under the aegis of the Rural Development Department.

Addressing a public gathering at Thanakalan village, he said that one such centre will be set up here. He asserted that the facility will help provide specialised health facilities in remote places. The services of corporate houses involved in the health sector will be utilised, while the staff at these centres will be recruited from the Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Departments.

The minister further stated that the rural infrastructure was being strengthened.

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).
