Mandi, February 4

Health worker Dev Dasi, posted at Didar sub health centre, braved inclement weather and snow in Seraj valley and walked for nearly two days to vaccinate 42 children at Narayangarh school in Mandi.

She walked and cleared a six-km track to reach the school, where a vaccination centre had been set up.

Her video crossing a snowy path was shared by Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare Mansukh Mandaviya on his twitter handle. The minister appreciated the exemplary deed of the female health worker. “I am proud of our health army”.

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).
