The district administration has made arrangements to assess the flood-like situation with the help of drones.

Deputy Commissioner Rahul stated this at Harike where he reviewed the releasing of water from the headworks to downstream canals at the confluence of the river Beas and Sutlej. Accompanied by officials of the departments concerned, the Deputy Commissioner listened to the problems of farmers of Hathar area (interior portion of Sutlej river).

The Deputy Commissioner got information from officials regarding the releasing of water to downstream canals. He also took stock of the water flow in rivers and assured the people of the area that there was nothing to worry about as the water level was under control and not above the danger mark.

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).
