Morinda, February 25

Mukesh Kumar, a third-year MBBS student from the town, is still stranded in Kyiv.

Talking to the media via phone, Mukesh said he along with three other roommates from Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh had moved to the basement of their residence for safety due to bombing.

The drinking water supply had been disrupted and they only had bottled water, which would last just for couple of days, he said.

The family of another Ropar native, Haripal, is also worried about their son’s safety. His father Yashpal said he settled down in Ukraine 19 years ago, after completing his medical education in 2003. He married a Ukrainian. Yesterday, they moved to a safer place, he added. Another student, Alka Sharma, pursuing MBBS in Ukraine, returned home safely yesterday. —

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).
