High-velocity dusty winds accompanied by rain disrupted power supply in many parts of the city yesterday.

According to the Meteorological Department here, the city received 8.3 mm rainfall. The sky became clear after the early morning rain.

Sources in the Municipal Corporation said the Horticulture Department received complaints about trees getting uprooted from Sector 24, 16, 19, 2, 11 and 4.

The storm disrupted power supply in Sector 30, 31, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47, and Mani Majra. Sunil, a resident of Dhanas, said there was no power for more than one hour after the storm.

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).
