Punjab has achieved a significant milestone in its fight against tuberculosis (TB) by securing the second rank nationally in the 100-day intensified campaign, ‘TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan’, as announced by the Government of India on World TB Day.

The state’s efforts in screening, detection and treatment of TB cases were recognised at a ceremony held in New Delhi, where state TB Officer Dr Rajesh Bhaskar received a certificate from Union Health and Family Welfare Minister JP Nadda.

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).
