Mohali, June 3

Chandigarh International Airport Ltd (CHIAL) has started an initiative, Airport as Venue for Skilled Artisans of the Region ‘AVSAR’, wherein space at the airport is allotted to a self-help group (SHG) for 15 days to sell its products.

Mohali DC Aashika Jain inaugurated the first AVSAR outlet at Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport in the domestic security hold area today. CHIAL CEO Rakesh Ranjan Sahay was present on the occasion.

“It is a wonderful initiative for SHGs to augment their income. It gives them an opportunity to showcase and sell their products. It is also a window to the art and culture of the region for the tourists and visitors at the airport,” Jain said.

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).
