Thane, April 30

A 22-year-old sailor from Kalyan in Maharashtra’s Thane district, who was among seven Indians detained by Houthi rebels in Yemen since January this year, has returned home following his release.

Mohammad Munawwar Sameer, who worked for a Dubai-based shipping company, reached home in the Govindwadi area of Kalyan on Thursday, after a nearly four-month-long ordeal. The seven Indians were among 14 persons released from the Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital of Sanaa last 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).
