Jammu, December 9

An aircraft-shaped balloon with PIA (Pakistan International Airlines) written on it was found in Rajouri district, triggering panic among residents. After getting information, a police team reached the spot in Chingus area of the district.

Local residents suspected that the balloon might be carrying some surveillance gadget. The area was cordoned for a search operation to ascertain if the balloon had been sent for surveillance or smuggling of weapons or narcotic substance.

“No objectionable material was found. Such balloons with markings of Pakistan International Airlines have been seized in other parts of the Union Territory in the past,” a senior police official informed.

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).
