Sources said the water level has touched 1,158 ft in the lake, prompting precautionary measures downstream.

On July 10, 2023, the UT Engineering Department had to open two of the three floodgates of Sukhna Lake after the water level crossed the danger mark of 1,163 ft.

The water level had reached 1,164 ft, the highest ever at the time. After the water level crossed the danger mark in 2020, Sukhna Choe caused widespread flooding in the low-lying areas of Zirakpur and Baltana alongside the Sukhna Choe.

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).
