OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO offers an entirely different perspective on the Maldives. Located about a 50-minute speedboat ride from the airport, Helengeli is best known for the rich marine ecosystem that surrounds the island. It is particularly popular among snorkellers and divers.

OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi offers a refreshing take on the Maldivian holiday. Located just about a 20-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, the resort is designed around the idea of shared experiences and easy-going island living.

The Tribune, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore, and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every single day over the last 145 years. It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. It is run by a five-member Trust, whose Chairman is Shri N N Vohra, former J&K Governor; Justice S S Sodhi, former chief justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, senior advocate in the Supreme Court.

The Tribune is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
