Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has commended the swift and coordinated response of the Indian Army, the Kangra district administration and local residents in the aftermath of recent landslides at Bachwai village in Thural of Kangra district.

He acknowledged their tireless efforts and said that stranded villagers were safely evacuated to secure locations. He added that household valuables and belongings of 13 affected families were recovered from severely damaged houses under highly challenging conditions.

Sukhu said that with dedication, the Army and the district administration not only saved lives and property but also instilled hope among the affected families. This strengthened the bond of trust between the Army and the local community.

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).
