Mandi, October 26

Around 150 persons of the Zanskar valley have been stranded in Manali for the past 10 days because of the closure of Darcha-Shinkula-Padum road in Lahaul-Spiti. Sudden snowfall at Shinkula blocked the Darcha-Shinkula-Padum road on October 17.

According to sources, these people had ventured towards Manali for necessary works. They expected to return before the beginning of snowfall. Now, they have been stuck in Manali. They met the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Manali, today and sought his help to reach their native places. At present, they are residing in rest houses and hotels in Manali. SDM Surinder Thakur assured them all help.

The SDM stated that those stranded are demanding restoration of the Darcha-Shinkula-Padum road for traffic movement so that they are able to move towards their native places. — TNS

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).
