India on Friday banned imports of certain jute products and woven fabrics from Bangladesh through land routes. However, it is allowed only through Nhava Sheva seaport, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said.

On May 17, India imposed port restrictions on the import of certain goods like readymade garments and processed food items, from Bangladesh.

The goods under these curbs include jute products, single flax yarn and flex.

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).
