The announcement by the aviation authorities comes amid heightened tension between Pakistan and India post the Pahalgam terror attack and Islamabad's apprehension of retaliatory action by New Delhi.

“The restricted airspace will be closed daily from 4 am to 8 am local time between May 1 and May 31,” Express Tribune said, quoting an official notice.

The Civil Aviation Authority said the closure would not significantly disrupt commercial flight operations, as aircraft would be rerouted via alternative flight paths during the restricted hours, it 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).
