Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur today said that despite the best efforts of the Cental Government, 58 persons from Himachal were still stranded in Ukraine.

He said so far 410 persons had returned safely from Ukraine. “The situation in Ukraine remains serious. We share the concerns of the family members of those who are still stuck in Ukraine,” he added.

Thakur said the state government was in regular touch with the Union Ministry of External Affairs for the safe return of 58 persons, including students. “The Centre has launched Operation Ganga to bring back Indian citizens from Ukraine,” he added.—

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).
