Pakistan sent back 22 Indian fishermen who crossed over to India through the Attari-Wagah Joint Check Post (JCP) near here on Saturday.

According to the information received, most of them belong to Gujarat, who violated the maritime boundary while fishing and entered the Pakistani territorial waters, prompting the Pakistan maritime authorities to arrest them.

The fishermen have been released after completing their sentence in Pakistani jail. The Border Ssecurity Force (BSF) handed them over to the district administration for their boarding and lodging arrangements till they leave for their native areas.

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).
