Stagnant water in coolers, discarded containers, and open drains becomes a breeding ground for the Aedes mosquito, the primary carrier of the dengue virus. iSTOCK

JAMMU is currently witnessing a worrying spike in dengue cases, prompting health authorities to intensify surveillance and preventive efforts against the vector-borne disease. Having experienced outbreaks in previous years, the region once again finds itself at a critical juncture as the number of infections continues to climb.

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).
