Panchkula, August 7

Weeks after heavy rainfall battered Panchkula, local residents remain a harried lot as a crucial road leading to the Mata Mansa Devi temple is yet to be repaired. The road gave way on July 10, rendering the temple out of bounds for devotees. The three days of incessant downpour left a trail of destruction in the city.

Almost a month on, authorities of the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) have yet to commence the repair of the road. The undue delay has added to the residents’ woes, as they are forced to take detours every day on account of the damaged road.

Mukesh, a passerby, rued, “The lack of information about alternative routes has caused confusion among commuters.” Some local residents echoed similar sentiments, lamenting the delay in the repair of the road.

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).
