India on Wednesday closed its airspace for the aeroplanes owned, registered or leased by the airlines based in Pakistan.

This comes after Pakistan closed its airspace for the planes operated by Indian airlines.

The neighbours are at loggerheads since the Pahalgam terror attack.

The move will lead to re-routing of flights from Pakistan to southeast Asian destinations like Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.

Pakistan had shut its airspace to Indian airlines recently following New Delhi’s strong measures against it after the terror attack.

India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty and revoked visas of Pakistani citizens besides taking other measures.

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).
