Palghar, May 9

A man was detained in Palghar district in Maharashtra for allegedly creating ruckus in a private COVID-19 hospital and manhandling staff over a dispute on a patient’s bill, police said on Sunday.

The incident happened in Boisar, an official said, though he added that no offence had been registered against the man as yet.

“This man smashed a computer and manhandled the hospital’s manager. The staff at the hospital, which is treating 35 COVID-19 patients, has demanded strict action failing which they have threatened to strike work. We are probing the incident,” the Boisar MIDC police station official said. — PTI

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).
