Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur inaugurated a CT Scan machine at Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College (RPGMC) at Tanda in Kangra district toady. This modern 128 slice machine costing about Rs 5 crore will provide the latest diagnostic facility to patients.

The Chief Minister said the hospital was one of the premier medical colleges that was catering to the requirements of about six districts.

The sharp spike in the number of Covid cases was a matter of concern. Doctors, paramedical and frontline staff were working round the clock to protect the lives of people.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also appreciated the health workers of the state. The vaccine developed in the country had been effective in protecting people against this virus, he added.

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).
