Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today undertook a sortie on the Navy’s P8I plane used for long-range maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare.

The Navy demonstrated how long-range surveillance, electronic warfare and imagery intelligence works. The anti-submarine missions and search and rescue capabilities are used on this state-of-the-art plane that carries specialised sensors. The P8I aircraft have significantly enhanced Navy’s surveillance operations in the Indian Ocean Region.

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).
