New Delhi, July 16

This year, Indian Air Force (IAF) Day parade and flypast will be conducted in Chandigarh. The flypast on October 8 is expected over the scenic Sukhna Lake. The parade and flypast is being conducted at the Hindon air base since 2006. Earlier, it used to be conducted at the Palam base.

The IAF has an important base for C-17 planes and Chinook heavy lift copters in Chandigarh. A squadron of the Rafale fighter jets are based in Ambala, some 40 km south of Chandigarh.

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).
