The Union Government has agreed to run a special train from Thivim/Margao/Karamali (Goa) to Una to ferry people of Himachal Pradesh stranded in Goa, said Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur while interacting with Himachalis through video-conferencing.

He said the special train from Goa was likely to start on May 13 or 14.

Meanwhile, Thakur urged the Andhra Pradesh Government to help natives of HP stranded in Sri Sayta Sai Seva Organisation at Puttaparthy (AP).

In a letter to the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, Thakur said that the Himachal Government was receiving several SOS calls for help from stranded Himachalis there.Most of these people want to come back to their native places. — 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).
