478.1 acres required for Ayodhya airport

n With a proposal to build an airport at Ayodhya, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has placed a demand for 478.1 acres, required for the development of the first phase of the facility.

n Informing this in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said, “The UPGovernment has informed that they have earmarked Rs525.92 crore for acquiring land for the airport.”

n A multi-disciplinary team of the AAI visited the existing Ayodhya airport in December last year to conduct a pre-feasibility study.

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).
