Patiala, August 20

With two cases of diarrhoea on Saturday, the Health Department claimed that situation at the outbreak site, Prem Colony in the city, was under control.

At least 13 people — including children — had fallen ill on Friday, which sent the Health Department into tizzy, because it was the second outbreak in a time span of just 15 days.

Dr Sumeet Singh, district epidemiologist, said fresh cases of diarrhoea cases had declined on Saturday. No diarrhoea patient was admitted to hospital, he said. “Only two cases with minor diarrhoea symptoms were reported at the outbreak site. Situation is completely under control,” said Dr Sumeet. Health teams were camping at the outbreak site to detect more cases if any, he added.

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).
