New Delhi, March 2

Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Saturday said that the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which would come into effect from July 1, had provisions which would protect doctors from violence.

“Doctors don’t have the intent to kill but treat to save lives. There are three provisions under BNS which will protect the doctors,” he said.

Days after a doctor was attacked with a sickle in Nashik, the medical associations demanded a law to protect doctors and put an end to such a violence.

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).
