Mandi, August 6

The Chandigarh-Manali highway has been restored to traffic between Mandi and Kullu after it was blocked due to a massive landslide at 7 Mile, a few km ahead of Mandi town towards Kullu.

The alternative route between Mandi and Kullu-via-Kataula was also blocked due to landslide at Tihri.

According to police, the traffic movement had completely come to a standstill due to the landslide. A large number of vehicles either coming to Mandi from Kullu or going to Kullu from Mandi side were stuck.

The movement of vehicles was stopped beyond Mandi towards Kullu side.

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).
