Shimla, March 29

A delegation of the Himachal Student Union, Chandigarh, (HIMSU) urged Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to provide better facilities for patients visiting the PGI for treatment.

The delegation apprised the CM of the problems being faced by patients at Himachal Sarai Bhawan in Sector 24 and Himachal Seva Sadan in Sector 25, Chandigarh.

The delegation urged Sukhu to install a solar grid system at these places and give concession on room rent charges to the patients staying there for a longer period for treatment. The students also urged him to provide free ambulance facility to the PGI for the patients.

The Chief Minister assured the delegation that the government would fulfil their genuine demands on priority and would ensure better facilities to the patients residing at Himachal Sarai Bhawan and Himachal Sadan.

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).
