The British government has announced that it will repatriate over 2,000 of its stranded citizens from Amritsar via seven more charter flights.

With this, over 15,000 Britishers will be brought back from India via 59 charter flights, said an announcement by the British High Commission.

The repatriation will begin from May 5 and will continue for seven consecutive days.

Acting British High Commissioner to India Jan Thompson said only those bookings would be considered which had been made through the British government’s online booking portal. — 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).
