Chennai, August 19

A New Delhi-bound Air India flight suffered a delay on Saturday due to a “last-minute technical snag” but alternative arrangements were made for the waiting passengers, an official said.

The aircraft was grounded for thorough engineering checks as the airline “accords top priority to the safety of its passengers and crew,” an Air India official said.

“Passengers (about 166 of them) have been accommodated in the evening flight set to depart at 9 pm. Meanwhile, passengers were served meals and refreshments and offered hotel accommodation as well,” the official added.

However, sources said citing the prolonged delay, 64 passengers left the airport.

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).
