A plane-shaped balloon with the insignia of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) was sighted on Tuesday in the fields of a village in Himachal Pradesh's Una district causing a flutter among the villagers.

A youth at Brahmapur village of Gagret sub-division spotted the balloon. He sounded village panchayat head Lucky Sharma, who informed the police.

On receiving the information, Daulatpur outpost in-charge Ravipal and Kulbhushan Guleria reached the spot and took the balloon in their possession.

Ravipal said it was a plane-shaped toy balloon made of plastic and probably reached the area with the wind.

The police have not found any suspicious object with the balloon. The matter is being probed, the police said.

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).
