Amritsar, May 22

Several direct flights from Amritsar to Sri Hazur Sahib Nanded were functional in the past, but since Tata bought Air India, the flights have been grounded. Pilgrims, in particular, have been facing a lot of inconvenience due to the grounding of flights.

Senior BJP leader Gurvinder Singh Mamanke stated that PM Narendra Modi is well aware of various issues facing Punjab. Mamanke added that he would soon raise the matter of grounded flights between Amritsar and Sri Hazur Sahib Nanded with Union Minister for Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia. “Scindia will find a solution to the issue as it is a matter of the sentiments of the Sikh community,” he asserted.

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).
