Amritsar MP Gurjit Singh Aujla today urged Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar to take steps for the repatriation of women stranded in Oman. He said around 24 womenwere living in poor conditions as the Indian Embassy in Muscat had failed to help them.

He said these women had gone to the Arabian country as domestic helps in search of livelihood. He said he had written to the MEA in June and October, but he had not got any response. — 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).
