Under the guidelines of Civil Surgeon Dr Rajesh Garg, the Health Department Jalandhar launched a “Fight dengue every Friday” campaign across the district. Dengue survey teams under leadership of District Epidemiologist Dr Adityapal Singh identified dengue larvae at nurseries and construction sites and sprayed medicine to prevent mosquitoes.As many as 25 teams of the health department launched an anti-dengue campaign in the areas of the district on Friday to identify dengue larvae and make people aware of dengue.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
