Mangaluru, October 16

Two hovercraft ships of the Coast Guard operating in Mangaluru have been sent to guard the India-Pakistan border in Gujarat, coast guard commander (west zone) Manoj V Badkar has said.

Badkar, who visited Mangaluru on Saturday after assuming charge as the west zone commander, said the hovercraft ships were sent to the border as there is a more pressing need for them in Gujarat than in Mangaluru now, according to a coast guard release here Sunday.

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).
