The state government has provided two mobile dental vans to the Government Dental College in Amritsar and Patiala to create awareness about dental hygiene and conduct dental check-up camps in the villages. As part of the efforts, the Punjab Government Dental College and Hospital, Amritsar, flagged off a mobile dental van today. MDS and BDS students of the college will educate the general public about dental diseases. Director-Principal Dr Rainu Bala Saroya flagged off the van. Awareness of harmful effects of tobacco consumption on oral health will also be created.

Faculty members Dr Sukhwinder Pal Singh, Dr Nitin Verma, Dr Nirpjit Kaur, Dr Baljit Kumar, Dr Sukhjit Kaur, Dr Paramjit, Dr Jaswinder Singh besides PG and UG students were present on

the occasion.

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).
