New Delhi, January 12

A SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Pune was searched after a phone call claimed that there was a bomb on the plane. The plane was supposed to take off from Delhi’s IGI Airport at 5.35 pm today.

Sources said the flight (SG-8938) was ready on the tarmac for boarding when a call was received at the SpiceJet call centre claiming the presence of a bomb in the aircraft.

“As many as 210 passengers were slated to fly by the plane. However, on receiving the call about the bomb threat, airline officials halted the boarding,” sources said, adding that a search of the plane was carried out, but nothing suspicious was found.

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).
