Palampur, January 17

Higher reaches of the Dhauladhar and Bara Bhangal areas of Kangra valley experienced the first snowfall of the season this evening. However, dry weather continues to prevail in lower areas of Kangra valley.

The snowfall caused considerable fall in the temperature at the picturesque hill stations of Palampur and Bir Billing. For the first time in the past 17 years, the valley neither had rain nor snowfall during the arrival of winter season. A spokesperson for the Meteorological Department said as western disturbances were currently prevailing in the state more snowfall is likely in some parts of the state in the next two days, especially in higher reaches. The snowfall has also brought cheer to the hotel and tourism industry.

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).
