Kullu, June 28

Twenty sheep and 40 goats were killed in a lightning strike at Shukchang Thach in the Manikaran valley of the district around 2.30 am today. Shepherd Sonu Kumar, a resident of Gadgi village, was injured in the incident.

Vishal Sharma, Deputy Director, Animal Husbandry Department, said that sheep rearers suffered a huge loss of animals in the incident. He added, “A team of the department has been sent to Shukchang Thach for inspection and gather facts about the incident. Department officials have been instructed to prepare a report of damage caused.”

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).
