New Delhi, August 10

Airtel chief Sunil Mittal has expressed hope that the government will step in to ensure that the sector remains a viable place for continued investments, and said the industry requires “long overdue” support to maintain its current 3+1 (three private players and one state-owned operator) structure.

Issues such as unsustainable pricing, low returns, coupled with legacy legal issues, “have extracted their toll”, he said in Airtel’s annual report. — PTI

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).
