A SpiceJet plane undershot the runway while landing at the Guwahati airport on Friday. No one was hurt in the incident, senior DGCA officials said.

The aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation has grounded the two SpiceJet pilots who were operating the SG960 Bengaluru-Guwahati flight, they said on Saturday. “They (pilots) have been off-rostered. The matter is under investigation,” they said. Officials said while the plane landed before the designated point on the runway, none of the passengers were affected. It was not clear how many passengers were on board the plane when the incident occurred. — PTI

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).
