Chamba, September 25

Three persons were reportedly washed away in a flash flood at Dharedi nullah falling under the Bakan patwar circle of Chamba district today, following heavy downpour during the past two days.

An official report here confirmed that people, who were washed away, had been identified as Konta Devi, Surender and Roshan Lal. They were residents of Dharedi and Khodi villages. However, their bodies have not been recovered yet.

Deputy Commissioner DC Rana said that the Chamba Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) along with search and rescue teams and the police had rushed to the incident spot to trace the bodies.

Since the Dharedi nullah joins the Ravi river, efforts were being made to trace the bodies in the Ravi.

Besides, eight footbridges, six watermills and one cattle shed were also washed away by the flash floods, the DC 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).
