The Phagwara unit of the Indian Medical Association (IMA), led by Dr Tushar Aggarwal, organised a public awareness seminar today to mark World Hypertension Day.

Eminent physician Dr Anil Tandon educated the audience on the latest hypertension guidelines and preventive measures to control blood pressure, such as morning walks, consuming salt in moderation, regular exercise, and yoga.

Dr Mohan Singh highlighted the importance of regular check-ups and raised awareness about the complications arising from high blood pressure. IMA Secretary Dr Poonam stressed the significance of blood pressure check-ups for young adults and pregnant women.

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).
