Shimla, June 28

The government has enhanced the retirement age for the principal/faculties of super specialty facility coming up on the outskirts of Shimla from 62 to 65 years of age.

Besides, the government has also issued orders to shift the super-specialty departments/cells from the IGMC to the Chamiana facility.

The departments/cells to be shifted in include cardiology, CTVS, neurology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, pediatric surgery, urology, nephrology, gastroenterology and hepatology, cardiac anesthesia and endocrinology.

Incidentally, a few days back, the State Association of Medical and Dental College Teachers (SAMDCOT) had urged Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and Health Minister Rajiv Saizal not to increase the retirement age.

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).
