Two pilots and three crew members on board an Indian Air Force Mi-17 helicopter had a lucky escape after the chopper force-landed following a technical snag.

The incident occurred in eastern Arunachal Pradesh. The helicopter was carrying out a maintenance sortie from Hayuliang to Rochham when the incident took place due to technical fault. A court of inquiry has been ordered.

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).
