Mohali, December 29

As many as 14 flights, including nine departures and five arrivals, were cancelled due to dense fog and low visibility at the SBSI Airport, Chandigarh, on Friday.

Most of the flights were two to three hours behind the schedule for most part of the day. There was no flight arrival or departure till 10 am at the airport as the runway visibility was reduced to 50 m early in the morning. The first flight, from Chandigarh to Lucknow, managed to take off at 10.10 am, after which flight operations started normalising.

This was the second day in a row that the flight schedule was disrupted due to fog and low visibility.

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).
