A labourer of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) was today killed in an avalanche near Rahalla Falls on the Manali-Rohtang road, nearly 27 km from Manali, in Kullu district. BRO Commander KP Rajendra Kumar said Ram Bahadur was engaged as a casual paid labour with the organisation.

He was on the way to give food to operators engaged in the snow-clearance operation when the avalanche hit him, the Commander said. Another person was also with him, but he escaped unhurt.—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).
