Chandigarh, June 4

Heavy rain accompanied by hailstorm lashed Chandigarh and its neighbouring areas on Thursday afternoon, leading to a drop in temperature and bringing much-needed relief from the heat.

The hailstorm lasted over 15 minutes.

The ground turned white as it was covered by hailstones.

The traffic movement was also affected in several parts of the city as two-wheeler riders were seen running for cover.

Panchkula and Mohali areas of the tricity also witnessed showers. However, several parts remained dry.

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).
