Ropar, December 2

Governor Banwari Lal Purohit said there were complaints that the benefits of welfare schemes launched by the Union Government were not reaching the masses. Purohit was interacting with mediapersons at a camp organised under “Hamara Sankalp,Viksit Bharat” movement at the nearby Rodmajra village here today.

The Governor said the Ayushman Bharat Scheme provides Rs 5 lakh for people who require medical treatment. Patients are eligible to get benefit of this scheme even at private hospitals but a majority of them are not aware of it, he said.

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).
