The police evacuated 119 persons from Lahaul and Spiti district on Monday night.

They were stranded at Rohli, 10 km ahead of Tindi, due to an avalanche.

Among the stranded persons, 43 were women, 69 men and seven children in 16 vehicles.

The police along with local youths led the rescue operation.

The passengers were rescued and brought to Tindi for a night stay, SP Manav Verma said.

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).
