Chandigarh, July 26

After nearly 17 days, one of the three floodgates of Sukhna Lake was opened again today after the water level reached near the danger mark. An official said the floodgate was opened around 5 am when the water level reached near 1,162.50 ft and closed around 3.30 pm when the level dropped to 1,161.40 ft. The gate was opened up to nearly 4 inches. Due to the heavy rain in the region, the Engineering Department had to open two floodgates after the water level crossed the danger mark of 1,163 ft on July 9.

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).
