The Indian government has offered indigenous military equipment to Zambia. Defence Secretary Giridhar Aramane held a meeting with Zambia’s Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Norman Chipakupaku.

The Ministry of Defence said Aramane highlighted the performance capabilities of Indian defence industries in varied operations. The Zambian Permanent Secretary appreciated the advancement of Indian defence industries and said that he looked forward for support through high-quality and cost-effective equipment for the modernisation of Zambian defence forces. “Both sides also agreed to explore opportunities for collaboration in manufacturing of small arms, ammunition and other defence equipment in Zambia,” the MoD said.

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).
