100 migrants found in trucks bound for Bihar

New Delhi, May 10

The Delhi police detected nearly 100 migrants hiding inside two trucks in a desperate bid to reach home in Bihar, and arrested the drivers of the vehicles for illegally transporting them during a nationwide lockdown, officials said on Sunday.

The trucks were intercepted near southeast Delhi’s Kalindi Kunj on Saturday night. One of the trucks had 63 migrants and the other was carrying 34, they said.

Driver Upender Singh Yadav was ferrying migrants to Lakhisarai district. The other truck driven by Dharmendra Kumar Yadav was carrying 34 migrants to Madhubani. — PTI

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).
