The Indian Medical Association (IMA), Rampura Phul unit, has passed a resolution to stop providing medical treatment to residents of Mandi Kalan and Sooch villages in Bathinda district. The move follows alleged manhandling of a doctor from Uttar Pradesh. The incident occurred on June 24, when a motorcyclist from Sooch village met with an accident at Mandi Kalan village. He succumbed to his injuries. Enraged villagers accused the hospital staff of negligence and allegedly assaulted the doctor on duty.

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).
