Islamabad, June 27

The United Nations said on Tuesday it had documented a significant level of civilians killed and wounded in attacks in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover.

According to a new report by the United Nations mission in Afghanistan, since the takeover in mid-August 2021 and until the end of May, there were 3,774 civilian casualties, including 1,095 people killed in violence.

That compares with 8,820 civilian casualties — including 3,035 killed — in just 2020, according to an earlier UN report. — Agencies

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).
