The Zurich Airport International AG and Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) today signed a concession agreement that would allow the Swiss developer to begin work at the site of the upcoming green field aviation infrastructure facility, officials said.

The project is estimated to cost Rs 29,560 crore. “Yes, the concession agreement has been signed,” said Shailendra Bhatia, NIAL’s nodal officer for Jewar airport. The agreement was signed at the NIAL’s office in Greater Noida in the presence of Arun Vir Singh, chief executive officer of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority, which is the nodal agency for setting up the airport project, and other senior UP officials. — TNS

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).
