Former Rajya Sabha MP Avinash Rai Khanna has raised the issue that all posts of Emergency Medical Officer (EMO) are lying vacant at the government hospital in Fazilka with the Punjab State Human Rights Commission.

Khanna described the situation as a gross violation of human rights, holding the state government responsible for it. In a letter to the Human Rights commission, Khanna has demanded that the state government submit a report on the matter and ensure the immediate appointment of Emergency Medical Officers at Fazilka hospital to restore adequate healthcare services for the public.

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).
