Hoshiarpur, June 13

Dr Pawan Kumar, Acting Civil Surgeon, Hoshiarpur, said all health institutions of the district would organise awareness programmes at village level to create awareness among the people about voluntary blood donation from Tuesday.

Voluntary blood donation pledge will be administered to people in these programmes. Dr Pawan Kumar said a month-long awareness campaign is being run under the theme “Blood donation is a work of unity, join the effort and save lives”. During this blood group test will be done in CHC. People willing to donate blood will be able to donate their blood in Divisional Hospitals and District Hospital. District Hospital Blood Transfusion Officer Dr Vaishali said those who want to donate blood can register themselves on the e-Raktkosh website.

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).
