Faridkot, March 9

Two weeks after the curtains fell on the state government’s Ayushman Bharat Mukh Mantri Sehat Bima Yojana (AB-MMSBY), which provides health insurance to 40 lakh eligible families in the state, the Health Department has issued orders to continue the services under the Trust mode till further orders.

Bhupinder Singh, Managing Director, Punjab Health Systems Corporation (PHSC), in a letter to around 700 empanelled healthcare providers in the state asked to continue the services.

He said the scheme was running since August 2019 and has been offered again on the Trust mode from March 5, 2022, till further orders. —

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).
