One batch of India seafarers stuck for nearly six months off the coast of China will be returning to the country on January 14, Minister of State for Ports, Shipping & Waterways Mansukh Mandaviya said in a social media post.

One of the ships, MV Jag Anand with 23 Indian crew, is set to sail toward Chiba in Japan to carry out crew change. It will then reach India on January 14, he said. The Ministry of External Affairs had been continuously following up the issue with the Chinese authorities. — 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).
