1.97 crore AB PMJAY beneficiaries in Punjab

Punjab has as many as 1.97 crore individuals belonging to 45 lakh beneficiary families covered under the Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PMJAY), said Minister of State for Health Prataprao Jadhav in reply to a question by Lok Sabha MP Amrinder Singh Raja Warring.

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).
