Dharamsala, October 24

The Dhauladhar mountain ranges received heavy snowfall today. It was the first snowfall after which the ranges overlooking the Kangra valley wore the white mantle.

The snowfall brought a sharp dip in the temperatures in the region, signalling the onset of winters. Most of the mountain passes here, including Thumbsar pass into the Bara Bhangal valley and Indrahar pass, received heavy snow.

Besides, the lower areas received heavy rainfall, which damaged paddy crop in lower areas of the district, where it is still being harvested.

Stakeholders of the tourism industry are enthusiastic about change in weather, expecting that the snow-clad mountain ranges would attract tourists in the coming days.

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).
