Chandigarh, June 6

People continued to reel under hot weather conditions as the heatwave persisted today as well. The maximum temperature in the city was 44°C, five degrees above normal. The weatherman has predicted that the day temperature will fall over the next few days. It is expected to gradually come down to 41°C by June 11.

It will provide a slight relief to people. Yesterday, the maximum temperature had reached 44.5°C and it remained the highest June day in the past five years.

The minimum temperature in the city today was 27.2°C, three degrees above normal. The night temperature, on the contrary, is likely to rise over the next few days. It is expected to reach 30°C by June 11. For the next four days, the weather is expected to stay clear. Light rain is expected on June 11, according to the weatherman.

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).
