Mandi, February 5

The Public Works Department (PWD) authorities restored 32 roads in Mandi district today, while 68 roads are still blocked on the third consecutive day after snowfall.

Seraj, the home constituency of Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur, is the worst affected due to heavy snowfall, where 46 rural roads are still blocked for traffic movement.

The snowfall has done considerable damage to power supply lines and electricity transformers in Gohar, Karsog and Sundernagar subdivisions of Mandi. As many as 146 transformers had been disrupted in Karsog subdivision, 134 in Gohar and 55 in Sundernagar. —

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).
