Dehradun, Jan 28

The higher reaches of Uttarakhand received fresh snowfall while lower areas were lashed by rain on Tuesday.

The skiing slopes of Auli, the Himalayan shrines of Badrinath and Hemkund Sahib, Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve and Kedarnath Musk Deer Sanctuary spread over Chamoli and Rudraprayag districts were covered by thick white sheets of snow.

The MeT office said most places located at 3000 metres and above in Uttarakashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag and Pithoragarh districts are likely to receive snow on Tuesday while cold day conditions are likely to prevail at some places in the hills on Wednesday.

Dehradun received intermittent showers since morning even as it recorded a minimum temperature of 10.2 degrees Celsius. Pantnagar recorded a minimum of 9.9 degrees Celsius, Mukteshwar 0.3 degrees Celsius and New Tehri 2.6 degrees Celsius. PTI

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).
