Patiala, December 5

The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), in collaboration with the Health Department and the jail administration, organised medical camps at the Central Jail here and the New District Jail, Nabha, today.

As many as 412 inmates of the Central Jail and 156 of the Nabha prison were medically examined by specialists. Required medicines were also provided to them.

On the occasion, Manni Arora, Chief Judicial Magistrate-cum-Secretary, DLSA, interacted with jail inmates and learnt about issues faced by them. Jail officials were instructed to ensure timely redress of inmates’ grievances/problems.

Arora also held legal awareness programmes with inmates of the Central Jail, Patiala, New District Jail, Nabha, and Open Air Jail, Nabha. During these programmes, jail inmates were made aware about plea bargaining and free legal aid.

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).
