An IndiGo flight from the national capital to Doha was diverted to Karachi due to a medical emergency on board, the airline said on Monday.

According to a statement, the flight 6E-1736 was diverted due to the medical emergency but “unfortunately, on arrival, the passenger was declared dead by the airport medical team”.

The flight was operating from Delhi to Doha in Qatar and was diverted to Karachi in Pakistan.

The airline said it was making arrangements for transferring the other passengers of the flight, in coordination with the relevant authorities.

“We are deeply saddened by the news and our prayers and wishes are with his family and loved ones,” IndiGo said in the statement.

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).
