Chandigarh, July 5

The city recorded 46.4 mm of rainfall in 24 hours, bringing respite to people from the hot weather conditions.

According to the Chandigarh Meteorological Department, it rained 46.4 mm in 24 hours from 8.30 am on Saturday till 8.30 am on Sunday. Rain/thundershowers are expected to continue in the city for three days.

Due to rain, trees were uprooted at several places in the tricity, while branches of several others fell on roads, causing inconvenience to commuters. There were also reports of waterlogging on several roads and some parking lots.

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).
