Chandigarh, June 19

Rain on Friday morning was a pleasant surprise for Chandigarh and Mohali residents.

As the pre-monsoon showers hit the city beautiful and its nearby areas, it provided the much-needed respite from the scorching heat and extreme humid weather that had been prevailing in the region for the last few days.

The day-time temperature at some parts in the region had crossed 42 degrees Celsius on Thursday, which along with the high humidity had made the living conditions tough for the people, especially those moving out of their homes.

The downpour caused waterlogging at several roundabouts and roads in Chandigarh and its periphery areas leading to traffic snarls.

Amritsar, Ludhiana and Patiala in Punjab recorded 41.4 degrees, 41.6 degrees and 41.3 degrees Celsius, respectively on Thursday.

While, Chandigarh, registered a high of 42.2 degrees Celsius.

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).
