The Airport Advisory Committee has constituted a team of officials of the Indian Air Force, Chandigarh airport and Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula civic bodies to jointly inspect and clean all garbage hotspots critical for the airport safety. Unusual bird activity around the airport poses threat to flight safety and delays operations.

In a meeting on Saturday, Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari and Anandpur Sahib MP Malvinder Singh Kang discussed with the stakeholders steps to be taken in the coming days.

Pabhat, Bishanpura, Kandala, Badhmajra and Jagatpura villages have been identified as the problem areas in the past. Authorities have repeatedly flagged the issue during meetings in past.

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).
