Mandi, December 2

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has restored the Darcha-Shinkula road to traffic in Lahaul and Spiti district. The road is fit only for the movement of 4×4 vehicles. It was closed after snowfall in mid-November.

According to the district police, traffic movement of local vehicles is allowed on this route between 11 am and 4 pm depending on the weather. People have been advised to avoid unnecessary journey on this route because of the inclement weather conditions prevailing in the area.

The district administration has issued an advisory that the weather in Lahaul valley is likely to be bad in the next two days and the chances of snowfall are high. Locals and tourists are advised to avoid unnecessary travel in bad weather and travel only in case of emergency, the advisory states.

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).
