Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, May 2

The state government today launched the web page https://edisha.gov.in/eForms/MigrantService for online registration of stranded persons and migrant workers who wished to return to their home states.

A government spokesman said migrants should register themselves on the web page https://edisha.gov.in/eForms/MigrantService.

He said anyone desirous of registering on the app should download ‘Jan Sahayak Helpme’ on Google Playstore and provide all necessary information.

He said migrant workers not having access to these could seek assistance from the district administration helpline by dialling 1950 or 1100.

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).
