People are being fleeced at private MRI centres as the government has failed to provide an MRI machine at Government Medical College here, said Sunil Sharma, AICC member, here yesterday.

Sharma said that in the OPD, patients had increased from 700 to 1,500 ever since the medical college was established. He added that BJP leaders tried to create hurdles in its establishment and even delayed the construction of the campus of the college at Jolsappar.

The Congess leader said that Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur must intervene and order the health authorities to provide an MRI machine to the medical college.

Sharma alleged that the BJP leaders were trying to take credit for works done by others. He said that the development in the district was done during the tenures of the previous Congress governments.

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).
