Hamirpur, March 15

The Ministry of Defence has approved two polyclinics under Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) for Hamirpur constituency. The two ECHS polyclinics would be established at Bhoranj in Hamirpur and Gagret in Una district.

Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur, while thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, said the establishment of the ECHS was long-awaited demand of ex-servicemen of the region.

Thakur said lakhs of people would benefit from the polyclinics as highest number of people from the constituency served in the Indian defence services from ranks of jawans to Generals. He added that the government had taken various steps to strengthen the defence sector.

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).
