Chandigarh, June 5

Dr Areet Kaur has been appointed Director of Health Services, Punjab. She has replaced Dr GB Singh, who has given charge of Director, ESI.

Last month, Dr Areet was appointed as the Director, Health Services (Family Welfare), Punjab.

The ophthalmologist had earlier worked as Director, National Health Mission, Punjab. She joined the PCMS in 1990 as an eye specialist in the District Hospital, Fatehgarh Sahib.

In 2015, she joined as assistant director at the state headquarters, where she looked after many key programmes, including National Programme for Control of Blindness and Health and Wellness Programme.

The state got a national award for best performance in these programmes. In 2021, she was promoted as Deputy Director and posted as Director, National Health Mission, Punjab.

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).
