As many as 24 houses at Dhangad panchayat in the Dehra Assembly constituency of Kangra district have developed cracks, rendering them unsafe for habitation.

Dehra SDM Shilpi Beakta said, “As many as 24 families residing in Dhangad panchayat have been affected due to a landslide. Their houses have developed cracks and declared unsafe. People have been moved out of their houses to other places. They will be provided all necessary help, including food and tarpaulins.”

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).
