Chandigarh, January 11

Tremors were felt for a few seconds in the city this evening, prompting residents to come out of their houses.

According the authorities concerned, the earthquake of 5.1 magnitude originated from Jammu and Kashmir at 7.32 pm.

Maninder, a resident of Sector 28, said: “I was studying when suddenly my table and chair started shaking. I did not realise that it was an earthquake. Then, my mom came rushing and we all went out of the house.”

Rahul Kumar, a Sector 29 resident, said: “I had just returned from my office and felt as if all things around me were shaking. I got scared and panicked.”

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).
