Jammu, September 13

Helicopter services linking Rajouri and Poonch districts to Jammu started today with the state hoping that the move would boost tourism and economy. The government is also pursuing the proposal for the Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch railway with the Centre to strengthen the connectivity to the twin districts, J&K Civil Supplies Minister Chowdhary Zulfkar Ali said. While he flagged off the chopper at Rajouri, Rural Development Minister Abdul Haq flagged off the Jammu-Poonch helicopter service at Poonch. — TNS

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).
