Mohali, June 29

Two flights carrying 324 passengers landed at the Chandigarh international airport here today. The flights were run under the Vande Bharat Mission of the Union Government to evacuate Indian nationals stranded abroad.

An Air India flight carrying 140 passengers from Auckland arrived at 7.30 am while one by GoAir carrying 184 passengers from Kuwait landed at 6.30 pm.

All repatriated persons, who mostly belong to different parts of Punjab, Haryana and nearby states, will reach their districts under the supervision of their respective state government representatives where they will be quarantined as per the government guidelines. A spokesperson of the Health Department said no passenger was found suffering from fever, cough, cold, etc, during the screening and all were asymptomatic for Covid.

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).
