Kangra, December 20

Urban Development Minister Sarveen Chaudhary today laid the foundation stone of the Rs33 lakh health sub-centre at the Balaid panchayat in Dharkandi area of Shahpur assembly segment.

She said the centre was being run in the local panchayat building for the past few years and shortly it would function from a separate building. Later during a public meeting at Balaid, Chaudhary said 1,550 residents of Balaid, Kakdha and Dulli villages would get benefited by this health sub centre.

She said those suffering from thalesemia, cancer, muscular dystrophy, hemophilia and other such diseases and had annual income less that Rs4 lakh could benefit under “Sahara Yojana” of the state government. “All such patients are being provided monthly financial assistance of Rs2,000,” she said. — OC

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).
