Chief Minister Sukhwinder Sukhu facilitated the swift airlifting of a critically ill woman from Bara Bhangal, a remote area in Kangra district. Nirmla Devi was unable to eat or walk for the past week, prompting urgent intervention.

Upon receiving information from local panchayat representatives about the woman’s deteriorating health on Saturday evening, the district administration informed the state government.

Sukhu directed the dispatch of his helicopter to airlift Nirmali from the challenging terrain of Bada Bhangal to Gaggal Airport on Sunday morning. From there, she was taken to Tanda Medical College for immediate medical attention.

Baijnath MLA Kishori Lal acknowledged the Chief Minister’s quick response.

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).
