Chandigarh, December 4

Health and Family Welfare Minister Chetan Singh Jouramajra said as per the latest data released by the Registrar General of India, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) in state has come down from 129 to 105, which is a 13.93 per cent reduction. The death of a woman while she is pregnant or within 42 days of termination of her pregnancy is termed maternal mortality.

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).
