Mandi, August 5

Chandigarh-Manali highway was on Friday blocked for traffic movement between Mandi and Kullu due to a massive landslide at 7 Mile, a few km ahead of Mandi towards Kullu.

According to police, the traffic movement has 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.

Police have diverted light vehicles between Mandi and Kullu via Mandi-Kataula-Kullu route. This road is fit only for the movement of light vehicles.

The movement of heavy vehicles has been stopped beyond Mandi towards Kullu from the Mandi-side and beyond Pandoh towards Mandi from the Kullu side.

Restoration work of highway is underway in the area.

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).
