Patiala, May 8

The second special train, carrying 1,200 migrant labourers, chugged off from the Patiala railway station to Jaunpur, UP, from here today.

DC Kumar Amit said the state government was bearing the entire expenses of all trains from Patiala to various cities of the country.

He said the state government was also providing refreshment to the migrants going to their native state in trains. He said the administration had received funds, specially designated by the state government to be paid to the Railways for providing tickets to the registered passengers.

A health team also screened all migrants who were coming to the station to board the train. — 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).
