The US has deported 929 Indians, including 42 women, during the first seven months of this financial year for country’s immigration law violations.

Satnam Singh Chahal, executive director, North American Punjabi Association (NAPA), shared this information today after receiving it from the US Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) department under Freedom of information Act (FOIA). Chahal said the number was highest since 2014, when only 87 Indians were sent back. While there was no specific data, it believed most of the individuals were from Punjab region. 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).
