Chamba, September 22

The district administration in a press release today said around 55 sheep and goats were buried under the debris of a landslide that was triggered by a cloudburst at Gronda village of Holi area in Chamba district on Wednesday.

The press release added that the sheep and goats belonged to three shepherds, Dhani Ram, Dalip Singh and Jai Singh. The shepherds were grazing their flock on the hillside of their village.

The local officials had rushed to the Gronda to carry out relief and rescue operations, and to provide relief to the affected families, the press release 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).
