Chandigarh, July 8

Residents are likely to get some relief from the intense heat as the UT Met Centre has forecast light rain in the next 24 hours in the city.

“Isolated light rain or thundershowers are likely in the city during the next 24 hours and light to moderate rain or thundershower activity is likely to take place on July 10,” the Met office said.

The spell is likely to be accompanied by thunderstorm, lightning and gusty winds with a speed of 30-40 km per hour, said the Met office, adding that rainfall was likely to increase from July 11.

Heat wave condition is likely to continue for another 24-36 hours and will abate afterwards. The maximum temperature today was 40.5°C, five degrees above normal, and the minimum was 30.6°C, six degrees above normal. —TNS

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).
