Muktsar, August 5

After a news report “Muktsar’s lone eye surgeon shifted to Malout hospital” appeared in The Tribune on Thursday, the Health Department has changed the posting orders of the eye surgeon.

Now, the doctor has been told to perform duty at the Muktsar Civil Hospital for four days and at the Malout Civil Hospital for two days.

Dr Ranju Singla, Chief Medical Officer, Muktsar, said, “The Muktsar Civil Hospital was left with no eye surgeon, thus fresh orders have been issued.”

It was prominently highlighted in the report that there used to be heavy footfall of eye patients at Muktsar hospital, but due to the transfer of the doctor, the patients had to go to Malout or Gidderbaha.

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).
