Chandigarh, June 2

Japanese Ambassador to India, Hiroshi Suzuki, was spotted travelling in a Mumbai local on Thursday. He also met Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

Suzuki–who was commuting like a typical Mumbaikar– posted a picture of a Rs 100 shirt at a market in the city, and wrote, “What a bargain! Should I buy?”

“Come to Pune, you will get 4 in 100,” replied a user on Twitter, another wrote “Great to see such humble personality. @JapaninIndia”.

He travelled in a local train in Mumbai and also posed for a photograph while standing at the gate of the train.

“I’m in Mumbai,” Suzuki tweeted.

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).
