Chandigarh: In a relief to 11 lakh cattle breeders of the state, the government on Saturday decided to go in for free vaccination to save the animals from diseases such as hemorrhagic septisemia (ghal ghotu), swine fever and black quarter. Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development and Fisheries Minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa said the initiative had been undertaken by the department as per the directions of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh in order to provide some relief to the cattle breeders, who were reeling under losses due to the lockdown. 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).
