According to the National Cancer Registry Programme report, there has been a 2.37 per cent rise in the number of cancer patients.

The data, presented by the Health Ministry in the Rajya Sabha, stated that the cancer cases in 2023 rose to 14,96,972 from 14,61,427 in 2022.

With 2,15,931 cases, UP leads the chart followed by Bihar with 1,12,180 cases in 2023. West Bengal logged 1,16,230 cases. In the region, Punjab recorded 41,337 cancer cases, HP logged 9,373 cases, Jamp;K (13,744), Chandigarh (1,120), Uttarakhand (12,348), Haryana (31,679) and Delhi (27,561).

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).
