Nawanshahr, March 18

At a meeting held under the presidency of Dr Gurpal Arora here on Wednesday, executive members of the Nawanshahr branch of the Indian Dental Association (IDA) decided to suspend all non-urgent dental treatments till March 31. The decision has been taken to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The members discussed other measures needed to tackle the situation. “The decision has been taken to underline the need to take precautions in this grim situation,” said Dr Arora.

Dr Arora advised patients to visit hospitals and clinics only in emergency and not for routine check-ups. Dr Ashwani Dhir, founder president of the local IDAunit; Dr Sahejpal Singh Karwar, general secretary; Dr Ravneet Sharma, joint secretary; and Dr Barinderpal, treasurer were present at the meeting.

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).
