Chandigarh, March 19

With the road link to Ladakh being cut off due to heavy winter snow, the Indian Air Force (IAF) deployed its AN-32 tactical transporters to ferry critically ill patients from Leh to Chandigarh.

The mission, involving a number of sorties, was carried to render humanitarian assistance to the civilian populace of Ladakh as part of ‘Operation Sadbhavna’, a defence spokesperson said here today.

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).
