New Delhi, July 6

As many as 35,819 candidates appeared for the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE) at 71 centres across the country on Saturday, with the Union Health Ministry saying no instances of untoward incidents were reported.

“The content was successfully downloaded at all test centres and the examination started smoothly. A team of officers from the Ministry of Home Affairs visited the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) headquarters. No untoward incident has been reported,” the ministry said.

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).
