A 28-year-old Pakistani woman has gone missing after her Indian visa was revoked following the suspension of cross-border visa services in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were gunned down.

Maria Bibi, who is pregnant and married to Sonu Masih in Sathiali village near Gurdaspur, disappeared shortly after meeting an advocate on Sunday. She was accompanied by her husband and mother-in-law during the meeting.

Her disappearance has sparked a search by local police. On Saturday, she visited the Gurdaspur Civil Hospital for a routine check-up.

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).
