New Delhi, April 17

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) today opened a new facility that will test and evaluate sonar systems to be installed on warships, submarines and helicopters of the Navy.

Sonars are used to trace underwater submarines of the enemy.

Dr Samir V Kamat, DRDO Chairman, opened the facility at Underwater Acoustic Research Facility, Kulamavu, Kerala. Called the ‘Submersible Platform for Acoustic Characterisation and Evaluation’, it has been set up by the DRDO’s Naval Physical & Oceanographic Laboratory. The Ministry of Defence said the technology was a milestone in naval technology advancement. It would cater to the needs of data processing and sample analyses in modern, well-equipped scientific laboratories.

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).
