New Delhi, June 30

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Friday asked airlines to strictly follow rules and sensitise pilots and cabin crew to prevent incidents of unauthorised entry of people into the cockpit.

“Instances of unauthorised entry into the cockpit have been reported to the DGCA in the recent past wherein persons having no authority were permitted entry into the cockpit. Such an unauthorised presence in the cockpit is likely to distract the attention of the crew from their sensitive functions,” the DGCA said today.

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).
