Mandi, June 22

The Chandigarh-Manali highway will remain closed for traffic between Mandi and Pandoh from 12.30 am to 3.30 am from today in view of the construction work on the Kiratpur-Manali four-lane road. During day time, the tourist influx remains high on this route, hindering the construction work.

“Earlier traffic was stopped on this road stretch for one hour thrice a day for the construction work. But now the tourist influx has increased manifold towards Kullu-Manali and we have decided to change the timing to avoid hurting the tourism industry,” said Additional SP Sagar Chander.

“Now we have decided to stop traffic movement on this route from 12.30 am to 3.30 am every day, as requested by the construction company,” he added.

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).
