A Mumbai-bound IndiGo aircraft from Goa returned when a snag was detected as the plane was taxiing out on Tuesday, officials said.

The right engine of the aircraft developed a snag while proceeding to the runway. All passengers were deplaned safely by rescue teams of the Navy, said airport Director SVT Dhananjaya Rao. “IndiGo flight Goa to Mumbai with 187 passengers had to abort the flight due to a snag in the right engine,” he said.

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).
