India sent relief assistance to the people of Cuba on Friday, following the devastation caused by Hurricane Rafael last year.

In November, Cuba was struck by a powerful Category 3 hurricane that ravaged the island nation, destroying hundreds of homes, crippling the country's power grid, and damaging other infrastructure.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated: "Vishwabandhu Bharat sends Humanitarian Assistance for the people of Cuba."

Jaiswal also said that a shipment of essential medicines, including antibiotics, antipyretics, painkillers, ORS, and muscle relaxants, departed for the country today in response to the aftermath of Hurricane Rafael.

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).
