New Delhi, May 19

The Indian Embassy in Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan today said the situation in Bishkek was “normal” and all Indian students were “safe”.

The embassy put a post on X about the safety of all Indian students and asked them to continue following the guidelines prescribed by the authorities in the Kyrgyz Republic. Trouble had started brewing on May 13 between locals and the population of expatriate Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Indians and Egyptians. A brawl ensued between foreigners and locals in a hostel of International University of Kyrgyzstan, in which 29 persons were injured.

Four persons, including three Egyptians, have been arrested. On May 17, locals targeted South Asian students, including Indians and Pakistanis.

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).
