Srinagar, January 7

The Jammu and Kashmir Students’ Association (JKSA) today appealed the External Affairs Ministry for assistance in repatriating a Kashmiri student’s body who had died in Iran.

Mohammad Arsalan Kanjwal, a fourth-year MBBS student at an Iranian medical university, belonged to Noor Bagh, Sopore, and had died due to sudden cardiac arrest, the JKSA said.

JKSA head Nasir Khuehami said the association was in touch with the MEA and the office of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, insisting on need to expedite the repatriation process.

Sopore Additional Deputy Commissioner Shabir Ahmad Raina sought the divisional commissioner’s intervention to facilitate the return of the body.

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).
