Shimla, December 31

The resident doctors of the Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) and Hospital withdrew their strike this afternoon and resumed their duties. They had gone on strike yesterday afternoon in protest against the “manhandling of peacefully protesting doctors by the Delhi Police”.

“Following a message from the Federation of Resident Doctors Association, we decided to take back our strike and resumed duties at 3 pm today,” said Dr Manoj Maitan, president of the IGMC Residents Doctors Association. As several doctors are on winter vacation, the resident doctors’ strike would have paralysed the functioning of the hospital. Many surgeries were cancelled yesterday after the resident doctors went on strike.

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).
