British telecom giant Vodafone is in discussions to sell its around 5% stake in telecom infrastructure company Indus Towers to Bharti Airtel, according to industry sources.

The deal, if it goes through, could be worth over Rs 3,300 crore, they said. When contacted, Vodafone Airtel refused to comment. The proceeds will be pumped into the Indian entity, Vodafone Idea, they said. Vodafone currently holds about 28% stake in Indus Towers. —

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).
