Chandigarh, March 18

Parts of Punjab and Haryana received rain on Saturday morning, bringing down the temperatures in the region.

Chandigarh and nearby areas also received rain.

Delhiites also woke up to light rain, which brought respite from the warm weather. Several parts of the city received rain. More rain accompanied by thunderstorms is predicted during the day, the IMD said.

Meanwhile, according to a TNS report from Patiala, crops submerged in water in many parts of the district following a heavy spell of rain, accompanied by gusty winds, since the wee hours of Saturday.

Farmers say if it rains more, as is predicted for the next 24 hours, the damage to the wheat crop will be heavy as the crop is almost near the ripening stage.

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).
