New Delhi, August 8

Amid reports of rise in airfares, the civil aviation regulator, DGCA, has asked the airlines to submit details about the ticket prices they have been charging for India-UK flights during August, officials said.

Secretary Inter-State Council Secretariat under Union Ministry of Home Affairs Sanjeev Gupta on Twitter complained that an economy-class ticket on British Airways’s Delhi-London flight for August 26 was priced Rs 3.95 lakh. He added economy-class ticket on Delhi-London flights of Vistara and Air India for August 26 was also priced between Rs 1.2 lakh and Rs 2.3 lakh amid the college admission time in the UK and said he had “alerted” Civil Aviation Secretary PS Kharola about the matter. — TNS

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).
