Mohali, July 28

An integrated cargo complex sprawling over 2,400 sq m with five sheds was operationalised at Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport today. The facility will be a major boost to pharmaceutical firms in Himachal Pradesh and industrial units in Punjab.

The cargo complex is equipped with cold room, refrigerated van, fork lifts, scissor lifts, user-friendly weighing scale and trolleys for smooth and seamless functioning.

Officials said the complex would handle domestic cargo only. The handling of international cargo would begin after getting clearance from customs.

The SBSI Airport is the only facility in northern India after Delhi with 2,500 MT cargo facility.

The overall cost of the project is pegged at Rs 12.45 crore.

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).
