An Indian student from Delhi, Harjot Singh (31), was shot at and injured in war-torn Kyiv a few days ago, Minister of State for Civil Aviation VK Singh said today. The Minister, who is camping in Poland to facilitate the evacuation of Indians, said Harjot was recuperating at hospital in Kyiv.

Harjot along with his two friends had boarded a cab from Kyiv for Lviv on February 27 when they came under heavy fire. Harjot was hit by four bullets, including one in the chest. “We were stopped at a barricade and suddenly it was raining bullets. I thought this is the end. I am alive by God’s grace,” he said.

He regained consciousness a few days later and informed his family. He is enrolled in a language course at International European University in Kyiv.

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).
