Mandi, December 10

Chandigarh-Manali highway was restored to traffic in the district at 4 Mile, which is a few kilometres away from the Mandi bus stand, after 18 hours.

The highway was blocked last night after a massive landslide in the area. It had led to a long traffic jam till 3:30 pm today, when the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) restored the highway.

According to the police, the highway was blocked around 10 pm last night,

but the NHAI could not start the restoration work due to darkness. The NHAI began removing debris from the road this morning. People travelling on this route had to spend the night in their vehicles.

The police had diverted some of the traffic to the alternative route between Mandi and Kullu via Kataula. However, it is fit for the movement of light vehicles only.

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).
