Chandigarh, May 5

Snow-clearance work at Baralacha La on the Manali-Leh highway is being undertaken by 70 Road Construction Company of Border Roads Organisation.

The 16,000-ft-high pass lies in Himachal Pradesh, close to the border with the Union Territory of Ladakh, and remains heavily snow-bound during winter.

BRO has also initiated surveys to construct a tunnel under the pass for ensuring all-weather access to Ladakh.

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).
