MoD inks Rs 10K cr pact with local firms

New Delhi: The Ministry of Defence on Thursday signed contracts worth Rs 10,147 crore with two Indian companies — Economic Explosives Limited (EEL) and Munitions India Limited (MIL) — for the procurement of two types of ammunition for the Indian Army’s Pinaka rocket launcher. The ammunition includes high-explosive and area denial munitions.

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).
