Zirakpur, March 6

Riya, a resident of Saini Vihar, Phase 3, Baltana, here, returned home safely from war-torn Ukraine last night.

The 20-year-old girl, second-year student of MBBS in Poltava city of Central Ukraine, said she was having a harrowing time there since February 23.

Her parents too heaved a sigh of relief when their daughter reached home safely. She, along with other Indian students, took a bus and travelled 1,050 kms to Poland border. Later, they took a train to reach Budapest in Hungary from where they were evacuated. Riya, however, is now worried about her future. —

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).
