Jalandhar, January 4

The polio immunisation drive began at Jalandhar and Kapurthala districts as part of the revised polio immunisation programme.

The DIO visited various health organisations on Wednesday and reviewed the arrangement. He said on Wednesday, a total of 626 children will be administered the third dose of the polio vaccine.

Meanwhile, on the instructions of Civil Surgeon, Kapurthala, the fractional inactivated polio vaccine started today.

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).
