Ferozepur, July 15

Doctors at the local Civil Hospital today went on a strike following an alleged attack on their senior colleague.

Around 10 am today, one Baljeet Singh of Mallanwala allegedly attacked Dr David Augustin, a paediatrician. The accused also allegedly misbehaved with a female doctor of the same ward.

Dr Jatinder Kochar, president, Punjab Civil Medical Services, said, “The OPD services at the Civil Hospital will remain non-functional till the time the accused are booked by the police.”

When contacted, SHO Mohit Dhawan said, “The police have received a written complaint from doctors. Soon, an FIR will be registered against accused.”

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).
