Christian Medical College, Ludhiana, today inaugurated its upgraded, state-of-the-art bone marrow transplant (BMT) unit. Since introducing Punjab’s first allogeneic stem cell transplant programme in 2008, the department of clinical haematology has successfully performed over 285 transplants, including 100 thalassaemia transplants. The upgraded unit boasts eight dedication transplanted beds, equipped with the latest technology and facilities.

The event was graced by Dr Pankaj Malhotra, Head of the Department of Clinical Haematology at PGIMER-Chandigarh, and Dr Alok Srivastava from St John’s Research Institute.

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).
