DC Ghanshyam Thori directed the Health Department to organise special camps in the district to speed up the enrollment of specially-abled persons for the Unique Disability Identity Card (UDID).

He told the department officials to set up one camp in each community-primary health centre and create awareness among the public in advance through councillors /sarpanches/ Asha workers, so that the specially-abled persons can avail maximum benefit from schemes. — TNS

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).
