Chandigarh, January 2

An Army helicopter, flying from Bathinda in Punjab to Delhi, made an “emergency landing” in an agricultural field in Haryana’s Jind district on Sunday and all the three persons on board are safe, a police official said.

There was no immediate statement from the Army.

“The Army helicopter, which was flying from Bathinda in Punjab to Delhi made an emergency landing in Jajanwala village in Jind district,” Inspector Rajesh Kumar told PTI over phone from Jind.

All three on board the helicopter are safe, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Narwana police station said.

Asked about the reason for the emergency landing, he said, “There could be some technical issue, but Army authorities can speak on this”.

After the helicopter landed in the fields, many villagers gathered at the site. PTI

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).
