The Indian Air Force will carry out round-the-clock operations for Ukraine evacuation.

Three C17 planes have been launched for Ukraine evacuation on Wednesday morning, said IAF Vice Chief Air Marshal Sandeep Singh.

The planes launched have proper civil aircraft type seating. It’s a long flight hence the seats have been put.

The planes will bring out Indian students from Poland, Romania and Hungary.

Meanwhile, sources said the first planes that took off on Wednesday morning from Hindon air base are landing at their destinations any time now.

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).
