Solan, August 23

Traffic has been halted on the Baddi-Nalagarh highway after the main bridge at Baddi was damaged.

One of its piers collapsed and it bent in the middle.

There would be no foot movement on the bridge given its precarious condition, said a Baddi police official.

People travelling from Chandigarh and Panchkula on Siswan road have been directed to take alternative route via Maranwala-Barotiwala for entry into the Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh belt.

The National Highway-105 has been closed for all vehicles following major landslides. Threat has also been posed to a slab culvert due to sinking of the adjoining land on the road.

Connecting roads like Nalagarh-Ramshehar, too, have been closed for vehicular traffic after a series of landslides, said Baddi DSP Priyank Gupta.

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).
