New Delhi, March 4

The Defence Expo 2022, which was proposed to be held in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar from March 10-14, has been postponed due to “logistics problems being experienced by participants”, the Defence Ministry spokesperson said on Friday.

The announcement comes at a time when the Russia-Ukraine conflict is escalating and multiple reasons could be the trigger point for the postponement, the ministry said, adding the new dates would be announced “in due course”.

Some 250 MoUs were expected to be signed at the five-day event. More than 50 delegations were expected to arrive. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to inaugurate the DefExpo. —

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).
