There is no relief in sight for 41 Indians stuck on two ships off the Chinese coast due to an escalating trade conflict between China and Australia. “The Indian Embassy is in touch with the Chinese authorities. They have said that crew change is not permitted from these ports due to local Covid restrictions,” said MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava here on Thursday.

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).
