Mandi, September 20

A delegation of Patrighat gram panchayat in Sarkaghat subdivision of Mandi district yesterday met Deputy Commissioner Arindam Chaudhary and urged him to declare Jawali ward of the panchayat as a red zone and unsafe.

The ward had suffered huge destruction last month due to heavy rain. While 17 houses were damaged completely, several others developed cracks, rendering them unsafe.

Vidhi Chand, pradhan of the gram panchayat, said, “We met the Deputy Commissioner and urged him to declare the ward as unsafe. We urged the state government to rehabilitate the people of this ward to a safe place in the district and submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner,” 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).
