Civil Hospital Phagwara marked World Arthritis Day with an event aimed at raising awareness about the increasing number of arthritis patients. The event was organised under the guidance of Civil Surgeon Kapurthala, Dr Sanjeev Bhagat and supervised by Senior Medical Officer, Dr Simardeep Kaur.

Orthopaedic specialist Dr Kashish Dhingra elaborated on the causes and symptoms of arthritis. She cautioned that what may seem like minor pain or swelling in the knees could eventually lead to arthritis if ignored. Dr Dhingra noted that stiffness, joint pain and inflammation are among the most common signs of the disease.

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).
