The first State Highway Trauma Centre will come up in Sunam, about 15 km from Sangrur. The construction of the centre, to be set up at a cost of Rs 5 crore, is likely to be completed in eight months.

The foundation stone of the 10-bed trauma centre was laid at the Sunam Sub-Divisional Hospital by Cabinet minister Aman Arora.

At present, such trauma centres are operational only in five cities, all situated along national highways in Jalandhar, Khanna, Ferozepur, Pathankot and Fazilka.

The minister said the trauma centre at Sunam would be the first of its kind on a state highway.

The foundation stone-laying ceremony was attended among others by SDM Manjeet Kaur, Sangrur Civil Surgeon Dr Sanjay Kamra and Municipal Council President Nishan Singh Tony.

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).
