Mandi, January 27

An avalanche was reported on the Manali-Leh highway at the South portal of Atal Tunnel this morning, which disrupted traffic between Manali and Keylong.

According to the police, no loss of life and property was reported due to the avalanche. The Border Roads Organisation engaged its workforce and machinery to clear snow from the road. Till noon, the BRO had restored this highway between Manali and Keylong for the movement of 4×4 vehicles between Manali and Keylong. The district administration of Lahaul and Spiti has urged the people to avoid unnecessary journey on this route in the next few days in view of public safety.

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).
