An Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopter made an emergency landing in Merta area of Nagaur on Wednesday due to a technical fault, police said.

The chopper landed in farm fields in Jasnagar. No loss of life was reported, they said.

Two IAF choppers were going from Jodhpur to Jaipur when one of the pilots witnessed some problems due to which it had to land. After rectification of the problem, the chopper took off again, Merta DSP Ramkaran Malinda said.

An expert team of the Indian Air Force had reached the spot and fixed the technical fault in the helicopter.

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).
