Chandigarh, November 29

The Air Force’s No.3 Base Repair Depot (BRD) in Chandigarh, the country’s largest Russian-origin helicopter maintenance establishment, will be marking its diamond jubilee ceremony on December 1.

A seminar on the theme ‘Skill development towards aviation maintenance for defence and civil MRO’ is also being held at the depot to give an impetus to self-reliance in the field of aviation.

VK Krishna Menon had laid the foundation stone for the depot, which was established on February 1, 1962. The depot has overhauled 1,038 aircraft since then, and it is the only repair depot of the IAF undertaking overhaul of aircraft and aero-engines as well as acting as an equipment depot.

The depot was adjudged the ‘Best Aircraft and Engine BRD’ this year by the Maintenance Command.

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).
