Chandigarh, July 9

The City has recorded the highest 24-hour rainfall in July from Saturday to Sunday, breaking the record of nearly 23 years. It is also this season’s highest-ever rainfall in 24 hours.

As per the IMD, Chandigarh recorded 322.2 mm rain in 24 hours.

The City had earlier recorded the highest-ever rainfall of 262 mm rainfall on July 18, 2000.

Heavy rain led to waterlogging and traffic jams at several parts of the City.

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).
