Karnal, March 2

Surbhi, a third-year MBBS student, returned to her residence in Karnal two days back. She shared the nightmare that she experienced in Ukraine. She said, “I, along with other students, had to wait for five hours on the Ukraine border. It was so crowded that we could not even move.

“As we had to keep on standing, our feet developed swelling. The students of Ukraine were given priority to cross the border to Romania. We were forced to return time and again. It takes two days for anyone to cross the border. Still, several students are in bunkers,” she said. —

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).
