Chandigarh, September 23

The Chandigarh Administration on Thursday opened one of the three floodgates of Sukhna Lake after the water level reached near the danger mark of 1,163 feet.

The UT Engineering Department on Tuesday had also opened one of the three floodgates after the water level reached the danger mark.

It is the fourth time in this monsoon season when the authorities have opened the floodgate. Earlier, the gate was opened on August 9, August 14 and September 21.

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).
