The Army has rolled out its first overhauled Armoured Recovery Vehicle (ARV) based on the T-72 tank. The ARV is used to recover tanks that have broken down or been hit during conflict. It was flagged off from the Army Base Workshop (ABW) in Pune. Airbornics Defence and Space Private Limited (ADSL), a subsidiary of the JCBL Group, was the industry partner for the project. As part of the work, ADSL overhauled the ARV by dismantling the vehicle, replacing critical components and repairing or substituting assemblies.

Rishi Aggarwal, Managing Director of JCBL Group, said, “We are honoured to partner with the Army for the overhaul of this platform.”

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).
