Patiala, June 6

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, lodged in Patiala central jail, was admitted to Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, on Monday afternoon. Jail officials took Sidhu to the Government Rajindra Hospital from where he was referred to Chandigarh for some tests. Sidhu underwent medical examination at the hepatology department, PGIMER, sources said.

In the afternoon, Sidhu was admitted to the PGIMER where he had been brought under heavy security from Patiala prison. More tests were expected to be conducted, sources said. The former Punjab Congress chief on May 20 was sent to Patiala central jail after he surrendered before a local court.

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).
