Mandi, June 13

For an end to the long dry spell in Kullu and Lahaul and Spiti, people of both districts have been seeking divine intervention. They are visiting nearby temples to pray for rainfall for the better crop.

People of the Billing village in the Lahaul valley were gathered at the temple of a local deity two days ago, to seek rainfall to end the long dry spell.

Shiv Kumar, a resident of Billing village, says, “The residents of the Lahaul valley have been facing the brunt of the long dry spell. People have deep faith in deities and we are seeking divine intervention to end this long dry spell of weather”.

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).
