Shimla, November 24

Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has decided to adopt Tikkar block of Rohru subdivision in Shimla district by becoming Nikshay Mitra under the Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan.

He has taken the responsibility of looking after all the identified 49 tuberculosis patients of this block. The government has set a target to make Himachal Pradesh a tuberculosis-free state by the end of the year 2023.

He appealed to the people to come forward to be a part of this campaign and cooperate in making Himachal TB-free and adopting the patients as Nikshay Mitra so that they could be given better health care.

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).
