New Delhi, July 24

Around 100 passengers, including three BJP MPs, were stranded at the Rajkot airport on Sunday night after they boarded an Air India flight to Delhi as the pilot refused to fly saying he was tired and his duty was over. The passengers waited for two hours before the flight was cancelled and alternative arrangements made for the passengers.

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).
