Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Air Command, Air Marshal B Suresh, visited Air Force Station Halwara on Wednesday.

On arrival, he was received by Air Commodore A Bhadra, Air Officer Commanding, 9 Wing.

During his visit, the AOC-in-C inspected vital installations of the base and assessed the operational preparedness. He also reviewed all measures taken to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

He reiterated that the country is facing emerging security threats along with the pandemic hazard and emphasised the importance of ensuring operational capability through diligent planning and utilisation of resources.

Appreciating the involvement and commitment to duty displayed by all personnel of the airbase, Air Marshal Suresh advised them to stay fit and be vigilant considering the current security situation.

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).
