Bathinda, June 1

To tackle increasing cases of black fungus (mucormycosis), a mucor task force has been formed by AIIMS, Bathinda. Two patients have already been operated upon, while 10 are under treatment at the institution.

Dr DK Singh, Director, AIIMS, Bathinda, said: “In the present scenario, those detected with mucormycosis need the utmost and swift treatment. A mucor task force has been formed, which operated upon two patients on the very first day. Both the surgeries have been successful. We are ready to help more patients from other districts as well.” — TNS

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).
