Chandigarh, June 20

Flying Officer Pranay Prashant, who was a cadet with No. 1 Chandigarh NCC Air Squadron has been commissioned into the Flying Branch of the Indian Air Force.

He passed out from the Air Force Academy, Dundigal, near Hyderabad on Saturday and was awarded his brevets by Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhaduria during the Combined Graduation Parade.

Pranay’s parents — Babulal Yadav and Rakesh Yadav, both teachers in government schools, have expressed pride and happiness in their son donning the Air Force blues. The family hails Mahendragarh in Haryana.

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).
