New Delhi, April 13

India may step into the breach with an additional $2 billion credit line as China has remained noncommittal on its $2.5 billion aid to Sri Lanka despite making the announcement over a month ago. The Indian credit line for diesel is likely to end next month.

Sri Lanka in turn has given Indian strategic comfort. It has got over its reluctance and announced participation with IOC to modernise the strategically located Trincomalee petroleum reserve containers. It has also awarded a container complex in Colombo Port to the Adani Group. It is also an enthusiastic partner in building regional maritime security architecture along with India, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles and Bangladesh. —

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).
