New Delhi, March 12

India logs 58,000 fatalities owing to snake bites annually. With a vision to reduce snakebite deaths by halve by 2030, the Union Health Ministry on Tuesday launched National Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Snakebite Envenoming (NAP-SE), which provides a framework for states to develop their own action plan for the control of snakebites.

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).
