New Delhi, July 16

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) today added another 346 spare parts, items and sub-assemblies to the import ban list, implying these will have to be sourced from Indian vendors.

The MoD said it had “notified the fifth list of items that cannot be imported”. Four previous lists had banned the import of 4,666 items. The fifth list will result in Rs 1,048 crore worth of orders being placed with defence public sector undertakings and the domestic market.

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).
