New Delhi, April 7

India on Friday handed over the contribution of $2 million to the UN Trust Fund in support of the AU Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), reiterating New Delhi’s commitment to peace and stability in Somalia and the Horn of Africa.

Earlier, India had contributed $4 million to the AU Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). “India recognises the important role being played by ATMIS in providing an enabling security environment in Somalia, and in containing the terrorism perpetrated by Al-Shabaab,’’ said a statement from the India’s Permanent Mission to the UN. According to a government release, India as an elected member of the UN Security Council had engaged constructively to ensure the smooth transition from AMISOM to ATMIS in line with the security requirements of Somalia.

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).
