Chamba, August 7

The Health and Family Welfare Department here, under the aegis of Chief Medical Officer, Chamba, organised an awareness camp on the benefits of breastfeeding at Primary Health Centre, Churi, as part of Breastfeeding Week-2024. Block Medical Officer Dr Navdeep Rathore was present as a special guest at the camp.

MEIO Chhaga Ram Thakur said breastfeeding (the process of feeding breast milk to a child) acted as the first immunisation and complete diet for the child. He recommended the lactating mothers to exclusively breastfeed the newborn for the first six months. Breastfeeding should begin immediately or within an hour after birth. After six months, complementary feeding should be introduced while continuing breastfeeding for up to two years. — OC

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).
