The Airports Authority of India (AAI) today signed an operation and management agreement for the operationalisation of five airports owned by the Government of Uttar Pradesh for 30 years. The airports are in Aligarh, Azamgarh, Chitrakoot, Muirpur and Shravasti.

The agreement was signed by NV Subbarayudu, executive director, on behalf of the AAI and Kumar Harsh, special secretary, Civil Aviation Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh, in the presence of UP CM Yogi Adityanath. As per the agreement, the UP Government will complete the initial capital works for making the airports ready for commercial operation.

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).
