Bathinda, March 4

Around 1,000 Indian students have been stranded in the city of Pesochin, about 11 km from Kharkiv, without food for the past two days.

Talking to The Tribune from Pesochin, Meenu Kaur of Ralla village in Mansa said: “I haven’t eaten anything for the past two days. The situation here is quite bad and taking a toll on us. Though the embassy had told us to leave Kharkiv, we were not allowed to board train at the station. Somehow we managed to reach Pesochin. We don’t know whether we will be able to return safely.” Another student said: “We have walked a lot over the past few days. We don’t have anything to eat. We request the government to evacuate us from here.”

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).
