Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday underscored the need for developing indigenous anti-drone technology to check the supply of drugs and weapons from across the border.

Addressing a gathering after inaugurating a drone hub here, Mann said Punjab, being a border state, must be equipped with ultra-modern technology. He said the technology would help curb the supply of drugs and weapons from across the border through drones.

He said technology had transformed world into a global village, adding new innovations must be made for the well-being of humanity.

He said unemployment was root cause of social maladies and promised the local youth working abroad of providing them with better jobs in the state so that they could return to their motherland. —

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).
