New Delhi, January 6

The joint modernisation of Trincomalee tank farms cleared by the Sri Lankan Cabinet was an important area of India’s cooperation with Sri Lanka and would augment bilateral energy security, MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi told the media on Thursday.

“We are in consultation with the Government of Sri Lanka for the modernisation of the Trincomalee tank farms. This will allow for the storage of fuel,” he said.

On extending credit to Colombo, Bagchi said SL Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa had visited Delhi last month and briefed the Indian side on the economic situation in his country and his government’s approach in addressing these challenges. — TNS

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).
