Mandi, July 11

To keep a vigil on the traffic on the Chandigarh-Manali highway, the district police will take the help of a drone.

Due to the rising temperature in the plains, a large number of tourists are visiting Kullu-Manali. As a result, the rush of commuters has increased manifold on the Chandigarh-Manali highway.

Superintendent of Police, Mandi, Shalini Agnihotri said, “In wake of tourist influx towards Kullu-Manali and Mandi, the district police have intensified vigil on the movement of vehicles on the Chandigarh-Manali highway. We have decided to use drone for the purpose.”

She said additional police personnel would be deployed at key locations on this highway to regulate the traffic.

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).
