Chamba, March 30

To facilitate patients coming to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Government Medical College and Hospital (PJNGMC&H), HRTC electric vans have started plying on roads. It was earlier banned due to curfew in the state.

The orders were passed by District Magistrate (DM) Vivek Bhatia here on Monday. He said the decision was taken to provide emergency transport services to the patients.

HRTC electric vans would be available to patients from Baloo and Zero Point to the PJNGMC&H hospital, the DM stated.

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).
