Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on phone with Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary, on Wednesday during which the latter said that the Indian students evacuated from Ukraine could continue their studies in Hungary if they wished.

PM Modi expressed his appreciation for this generous offer.

The two leaders discussed the ongoing situation in Ukraine and agreed on the need to ensure an immediate ceasefire and a return to diplomacy and dialogue.

The Prime Minister conveyed his warm thanks for facilitating the evacuation of more than 6,000 Indian citizens through the Ukraine-Hungary border.

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).
