Srinagar, November 25

The J&K administration today released two former MLAs Hakim Yasin and Ashraf Mir from detention. They were arrested on August 5 in wake of abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of the state into two union territories.

Initially, they were detained at SKICC and later shifted to MLA hostel. They were released from the hostel today. Three former Chief Ministers and many other mainstream politicians continue to be under detention since August 5.

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).
