A state-of-the-art telemedicine studio was inaugurated at the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital on Monday by Anshul Garg, Chief Executive Officer, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board (SMVDSB).

A shrine board official said the newly established studio is designed to facilitate real-time consultation with doctors on the Vaishno Devi track and medical experts in SMVDNS Hospital. “This innovative initiative provides instant access to specialised medical advice, contributes to improved response to medical emergencies and enhances patient care on the track. The Board provides free accident insurance cover up to Rs 5 lakh to pilgrims visiting the holy shrine besides free treatment to ailing devotees at SMVDNSH,” he said.

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).
