Chandigarh, January 19

The Indian Air Force and French Air and Space Force (Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace) will conduct a bilateral drill — ‘Desert Knight-21’ — at the Jodhpur Air Force Station from January 20 to 24.

The French side will participate with Rafale fighter aircraft, Airbus A-330 multi-role tanker transport, A-400M tactical transport aircraft and over 175 personnel. The Indian Air Force aircraft participating in the exercise will include Mirage 2000, Su-30MKI, Rafale, IL-78 flight refuelling aircraft and airborne early warning and control aircraft.

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).
