Aviation regulator DGCA has issued a safety alert to airlines operating Boeing 737 aircraft, following warnings from the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) about a potential risk from jammed rudder control systems. The NTSB highlighted concerns related to Boeing 737 planes equipped with Collins Aerospace SVO-730 Rudder Rollout Guidance Actuators.

In its interim safety recommendations issued today, the DGCA instructed Indian operators to perform a safety risk assessment on affected aircraft.

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).
