Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Saturday appealed to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to immediately arrange for bringing back the 104 women stuck in Muscat in Oman.

Fourteen of these women are from Punjab.

In a tweet, the Chief Minister said he had ordered the ADGP, NRI affairs, to nab the agents who cheated them.

He also lauded the efforts of hotelier SPS Oberoi, who has consistently helped Indians in distress abroad.

He was reacting to a report in The Tribune published on Saturday.

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).
