India on Wednesday tested next-generation nuclear-capable missile ‘Agni-Prime’, a better version of the existing Agni missile series

Sources said after the trial, the missile was ready for induction.

The Ministry of Defence said on Thursday that the Strategic Forces Command, along with Defence Research and Development Organisation, conducted a flight-test of Agni-Prime from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha on Wednesday around 7 pm.

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).
