Bathinda, April 3

A general house meeting of the Medical Practitioners’ Association was held in Bathinda today wherein they sought status of health volunteers.

Khushwinder Mann, a member of the association, said, “The state government must accord us a status of health volunteers so that we can treat patients with minor diseases. A legal right of registered health workers will make it easier for medical practitioners to work. We have also submitted a memorandum of demands to all six MLAs of Bathinda district in this regard.”

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).
