Chandigarh, August 5

The Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) here today resumed the treatment of Punjab patients under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana.

Kumar Gaurav Dhawan, Deputy Director (Administration) and official spokesperson, said: “The PGIMER has taken this decision on the directives from the offices of the Prime Minister and Union Health Minister to restart the programme so that patients do not suffer. A communication has also been received from the Secretary Health, Government of Punjab, stating in the next few days, all pending dues will be cleared.”

Earlier, the PGI was constrained to stop the benefits of Ayushman scheme for beneficiaries from 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).
