Blurb: Policy amended

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, March 12

Considering the rising number of unemployed registered pharmacists in the state, the Punjab Government has decided to provide self-employment to unemployed youth by making changes in the policy for grant of drugs licenses.

In a press release, Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu said the registered pharmacists with certain experience can now apply for grant of drugs licence to open chemist shops in rural and urban areas under the amended policy.

Besides, licences for sale of veterinary drugs, medical devices, dental materials, diagnostic kits and reagents, implants and surgical goods have also been allowed.

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).
