Chandigarh, February 25

In a bid to provide all possible assistance to the distressed families in this hour of crisis, the Punjab Government has set up a dedicated 24×7 control room to help the people from Punjab stuck up in war-hit Ukraine.

An official spokesperson said that affected persons or their relatives can call from within Punjab on Helpline No. 1100 and others from outside India on 91-172-4111905 for seeking relevant information.

Pointing out further, the spokesperson said that queries on these helpline numbers would be immediately forwarded to the Ministry of External Affairs.

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).
