Mandi, August 26

Traffic on the Chandigarh-Manali highway has been restored.

The Chandigarh-Manali highway was blocked for traffic between Mandi and Kullu at 7 Mile near Pandoh in Mandi district following a massive landslide on Thursday.

A large number of vehicles were stuck on both sides of the road. The National Highway Authority of India pressed its men and machinery to clear the highway for traffic.

For the past two days, Mandi district has been witnessing heavy rain, which is resulting in landslides on the Chandigarh-Manali highway.

Due to the ongoing construction work of Kiratpur-Manali four-lane, the Chandigarh-Manali highway between Mandi and Kullu has become prone to landslides.

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).
