Dharamsala, December 1

The CUHP in collaboration with the ISRO will work on detection modelling and analysis for the prediction of lightning in the atmosphere.

VC of the CUHP Sat Prakash Bansal said that cloudbursts had become a regular phenomenon in the Himalayas and other parts of the world. “Cloudbursts are a warning of alteration in the existing global environment, called climate change. Lightning leads to the production of nitrous oxide in the atmosphere, which is a precursor to ozone production. Anomalies in global environmental conditions were found due to these irregular atmospheric lightning patterns. This causes global concern and hence there is need for research with regard to detection, modelling and analysis to enable lightning prediction. This project is a milestone in impactful research emerging from collaboration between ISRO and the CUHP,” 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).
