Mohali, April 26

Three residents from the district, who had gone to a pilgrimage in Nanded and got stranded there with several others, returned to their homes today.

The pilgrims included DP Singh and his wife Manjeet Singh. They were received by the Regional Transport Authority Sukhwinder Kumar on behalf of the administration. The three pilgrims were examined at the district hospital in Phase 6 for Covid-like symptoms. However, all of them were found asymptomatic and sent to their homes in vehicles arranged by the administration.

The pilgrims expressed gratitude to the Punjab Government in making efforts to get them back from Nanded in view of the lockdown imposed in the country. — TNS

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).
