Palampur April 24

The district administration today allowed 25 persons to move to their native snow-bound village Bara Bhanghal situated at a height of 13,000 feet. The villagers were stranded at Bir since the lockdown was announced.

SDM Baijnath Chhavi Nanta said over 500 persons, who had migrated from Bara Bhangal to Baijnath before the onset of winters, were stranded at Bir as they could not move back in March to their native village because of lockdown.

Now the state government has allowed to them to go to their native village. She said 25 persons were sent today and the remaining persons would also be sent back in batches as per directions of DC Kangra. — OC

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).
