Palampur, May 17

The state government today banned tandem and solo paragliding and any other flights at Bir-Billing in Kangra district till May 19 in view of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) matches at Dharamsala.

The government has also banned flying of drones and hot-air balloons. However, drones can be used in extraordinary circumstances for security reasons.

A government official said that there would be no paragliding at Bir-Billing and other places in Kangra during this period. Deputy Commissioner, Kangra, Nipun Jindal has already issued orders in this regard.

The official said that tourists had been asked not to take any chances and stringent action would be taken in the case of any violation. The Paragliding Association in Bir Billing had been directed to implement the orders of the District Magistrate strictly.

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).
