Chandigarh, May 3

In view of movement of VVIPs in Chandigarh on May 4 and 8, the UT Administration has declared the city a “no-fly zone” for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including drones.

An order issued by District Magistrate Vinay Pratap Singh stated that the entire city will be “no-flying zone” for UAVs from May 3, 4 and 8 in view of emerging threats due to recent trends of carrying out terrorist attacks by using drones fitted with improvised explosive device by anti-national elements and keeping in view of the security of VVIPs and general public.

Any breach of this order would invite action under Section 188 of the IPC and other relevant laws.

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).
