Dayanand Medical College and Hospital has expanded its eye care services by launching a new initiative — a fortnightly eye screening camp for retina and glaucoma. These camps will offer a comprehensive screening services, aiming at early detection and prevention of vision loss due to glaucoma and various retinal diseases like diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration and retinal detachment. It is worth mentioning here that these diseases often remain asymptomatic until advanced stages and need routine screening for their detection. Principal Dr G S Wander encouraged everyone to take advantage of the upcoming screening camps to ensure proper eye health.

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).
