Chamba, January 28

Remote villages in Lakay Wali Mata area of Bharmour subdivision in Chamba district were cut off from the rest of the district following an avalanche at the Dudli nullah on the Holi-Nayagran road last evening, an official report said here today. The avalanche blocked about a one kilometre stretch of the road, hampering transportation services to difficult mountainous villages.

Residents of the area faced various problems relating to basic amenities.

District officials pressed workforce and machinery into service to remove snow from the road. The officials said that transportation service would be resumed as soon as the road was cleared of snow.

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).
