Four more deaths in rain-related incidents during the current monsoon season have been reported in the state, taking the toll to 302 while 588 persons have been injured.

The state has so far suffered Rs 1,889 crore losses and 30 roads (nine in Kullu, seven in Chamba, six in Mandi, five in Shimla, two in Kangra and one in Solan) are still blocked and six transformers are damaged.

The local Met Office has issued a yellow warning of heavy rain, thunderstorm and lightning at isolated places in lower and middle hills and of a thunderstorm and lightning at isolated places in high hills tomorrow.

Meanwhile, moderate to heavy rain lashed parts of Himachal today. Nagrota Suriyan received 98 mm of rain, followed by Amb (51 mm), Palampur (50 mm), Dharamsala (39 mm), Bharari and Mehre (34 mm each), Guler (33 mm), and Bhoranj (30 mm)

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).
