New Delhi, August 17

For a change, it was not yet another case of emergency landing when a business jet taking off from Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport landed at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi on Monday.

There were two incidents last month of Indian passenger flights operating on the middle-eastern routes making stoppages at Karachi. On both occasions, the halts were safety manoeuvres that the crew members were forced to resort to following technical problems.

Most of the Pakistani news channels described the India flight to Karachi as a case of emergency landing.

“There is no question of any glitch. The aircraft is not even registered in India,” DGCA chief Arun Kumar told The Tribune.

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).
