A Mirage-2000 fighter aircraft of the IAF crashed in an agriculture field in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district on Thursday after developing a snag, a defence spokesperson said. Both pilots ejected safely and were being airlifted to Gwalior by a helicopter, he said. The twin-seater trainer aircraft caught fire after crashing in an agriculture field near Barheta Sani village at around 2.40 pm. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered into the incident, he added.

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).
