Chandigarh, June 7

Rain is expected this weekend as the Western Disturbance is again going to be active in the region.

According to the city weather department, “partly cloudy sky with likely rain/thundershowers” is likely from June 10 to 12.

“The Western Disturbance as a cyclonic circulation over Himachal Pradesh and neighbourhood at 5.8 km above mean sea level persists. Conditions are becoming favourable for monsoon onset over Kerala during the next 48 hours,” a department update stated.

The city recorded 2.2 mm rainfall from 8.30 am yesterday till 8.30 am today. So far, 23.6 mm rain has been recorded this month. This is 17.4 per cent higher than normal for the month.

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).
