Hisar, December 15

The Centre has denied any proposal of starting international flights from the Hisar airport. In response to Hisar MP Brijendra Singh’s query, the Civil Aviation Minister said there was no such proposal under consideration, at present.

Brijendra Singh asked the question in the Lok Sabha during the current session of Parliament. On the question of domestic air connectivity from the airport, the minister said UDAN flights from Hisar to Chandigarh started on January 14, 2021, while flights on the Hisar-Dharamsala and Hisar-Dehradun routes started on February 2, 2021. He said the start of international flights depended on the traffic potential, demand by airlines, bilateral air services agreement, provision of ground landing facilities, adequate runway length, quarantine services etc.

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).
