Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla chaired a high-level review meeting on the tuberculosis (TB) elimination campaign at Raj Bhavan on Wednesday.

He evaluated the initiatives undertaken by the state under the ‘100-Day TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan’ and assessed Himachal’s contribution in the nationwide TB elimination programme launched by the Centre.

Shukla emphasised the need for regular monitoring at the state and district levels, enhanced community participation and widespread public awareness to ensure the effective implementation of the campaign. He appreciated the efforts being made by the state government for making Himachal a TB-free state and called for more robust strategies besides enhanced public participation.

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).
