DC Komal Mittal today said the Ghaggar water level was well below its capacity.

Giving details, she said the water level in the river stood at 6,000 cusecs today, which was quite less than its full capacity of 70,000 cusecs. As rainfall had been minimal today and floodgates of Sukhna Lake were not opened, there was no likelihood of any unusual increase in water discharge.

Control rooms set up

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).
