As many as 16 ‘shramik’ special trains will take migrants from Chandigarh to their home states in the next couple of weeks. UT Adviser Manoj Parida said these trains would take migrants to Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Manipur. The entire expenses are being borne by the UT Administration, including the cost of tickets. The Administration paid Rs 655 per ticket/per person for the trains to Gonda and Kishanganj and Rs 480 per ticket/ per passenger for the train that left for Gorakhpur on Monday.

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).
