Dr Paramjit Maan, the president of the Punjab chapter of the Indian Medical Association, has welcomed the induction of Dr Balbir Singh as the Health Minister in the Punjab cabinet by the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

Hailing it as a step in the right direction, Dr Maan said, “Dr Balbir’s integrity would be an asset to the cabinet, and it would prove to be a boon for the promotion of healthcare services, medical research and science.”

“As a medical professional himself, Dr Balbir Singh could develop a rapport with the medical fraternity as the Health Minister, and thus, resolve the long-pending issues for ensuring a better execution of policies to bring in qualitative improvement in the healthcare sector,” Dr Maan added.

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).
