Shahpur legislator Kewal Singh Pathania on Tuesday raised the issue of alleged negligence in medical care at Tanda Medical College, Kangra, due to defunct ventilators, resulting in a death due to snake bite.

“As per my information, there are 92 ventilators at Tanda medical college, so why were they not functional? There must be accountability and a time-bound inquiry must be held,” said Pathania.

“Despite assurance on proper care during snake bite in the Assembly, a person had died. Please specify what action you will be taken against the erring officials who failed to act?” he asked the state government.

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).
