To increase transparency in the functioning of medical colleges from the lecture halls to hostels and to make constant surveillance of the institutions, the NMC has directed all medical colleges to install minimum 25 CCTV cameras with high internet speed connections. It also specified to connect the cameras to the control and command centre of the NMC along with remote accessibility and high resolution cameras.

The direction came in the view of looming threat among students and attack on doctors by the kin of patients after his/her death.

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).
