Port Blair, August 26

A ship of the Andaman and Nicobar administration on its way to Hut Bay from Port Blair with over 400 passengers on board had to return to Haddo jetty here due to technical snags, an official said on Thursday.

The ship, MV Sindhu, after crossing Ross Island developed some snags in the steering wheel on Wednesday and had to return and dock at the Haddo jetty here, a release issued by the union territory administration said.

All the passengers onboard MV Sindhu were shifted to another vessel, MV Kalighat, which sailed for Hut Bay on Wednesday evening, it said.

The 500-pax-150 MT cargo vessel MV Sindhu had joined the shipping fleet of the union territory administration recently and was on its maiden voyage to Hut Bay. 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).
