Dharamsala, May 19

Traffic jams paralysed Dharamsala and thousands of vehicles were left stranded on roads in the evening as spectators thronged the town to watch the IPL match between Punjab Kings XI and Rajasthan Royals.

The arrangements made by the police for traffic management proved inadequate as spectators looked for places to park their vehicles.

Rajiv Sharma, a resident of Delhi who had come to Dharamsala, said that he remained stranded in traffic on the Chateru-Shilla crossing road for a long time. There was traffic jam of more than seven km on the road.

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).
