Chandigarh, February 23

Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, Raj Kamal Chaudhary today said the Pulse polio campaign-2022 would be started in the state from February 27. It will culminate on March 1. He said 31,08,660 children (0-5 years) would be given polio drops by health workers.

On the first day of the campaign 14,468 polio booths would be set up across the state and on the second day 26,741 teams would go door to door to administer these drops to the children. The Principal Secretary said 848 mobile teams and 764 transit teams have been formed to administer polio drops to children. —

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).
