Five detained politicians, including three former legislators, were released on Thursday as part of the government’s efforts to initiate political process in J&K.

The released leaders include three from the NC and two from the PDP.

The five leaders who have been released are Altaf Kalloo (ex-MLA, NC), Showkat Ganai (ex-MLC, NC) and Nizamuddin Bhat (ex-MLC, PDP). On December 30, five other mainstream politicians, including two MLAs, were released from detention in the MLA hostel. — 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).
