Dharamsala, February 12

After a gap of over 10 months, the state-run Himachal Road Transport Corporation’s luxury bus service on the Manali-Amritsar route will resume on Sunday.

The bus service on the route was stopped in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Pankaj Chadha, regional manager of the HRTC, said the bus will start at 6.40 pm from Amritsar and reach Manali at 8 am the next morning through Pathankot, Dhsaramsala, Palampur, Mandi and Kullu.

On the return journey, the bus will start at 8 pm from Manali.

The official said around a dozen HRTC luxury buses were in operation from Dharamshala to other states before the coronavirus lockdown. — PTI

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).
