Jalandhar, August 8

Doctors of the New Ruby Hospital conducted a rare surgery, relieving an 85-year-old woman of a 7.5 kg ovarian tumour, in a rare feat pulled off with a patient of this age.

The woman underwent removal of the left ovarian tumour under general anaesthesia by Dr Harneet, Dr Puneet Pal Singh Grover and Dr Abhujot. The patient hailing from Jalandhar reported to the hospital with severe pain in abdomen, vomiting and general weakness.

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).
