New Delhi, July 19

The Kashmere Gate Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT), which was shut last week due to flooding, commenced operation on Wednesday, bringing relief to commuters.

With the rise in levels of the Yamuna river last week, the bus terminal was flooded compelling the government to announce the stoppage of all inter-state buses coming in from Haryana, Punjab, Jammu and Himachal Pradesh at the Singhu border.

The passengers were then ferried to the city in DTC buses.

According to an official, the terminal started operation on Wednesday morning since the water was pumped out by July 18.

The restrictions on the entry of heavy goods vehicles into the national capital were also lifted on Wednesday.

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).
