New Delhi, August 13

The National Commission for Women on Friday wrote to the Chief Secretaries of states and UTs to take steps to close the gender gap in vaccination. It said there was an urgent need to increase the proportion of women coming to vaccination booths so that the gap could be plugged.

It said Himachal Pradesh was among the states doing better in this regard. The NCW pointed out that in many households, women’s health was not considered a priority, which must be factored in. — TNS

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).
