The Navy has carried out a mega exercise in the Arabian Sea that involved two aircraft carriers, multiple warships, submarines and over 35 frontline planes.
Aircraft carriers INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant were the centrepiece of the exercise as they served as floating airfields for a wide array of aircraft, including MiG-29K fighter jets, MH-60R, Kamov, Sea King, Chetak and ALHs
It is the first mega exercise involving the two aircraft carriers after the induction of the indigenously built INS Vikrant in September.
The warships can be positioned anywhere, allowing increased flexibility, timely response to emerging threats and sustained air operations to safeguard national interests.

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).
