The Kaza-Gramphu stretch on National Highway 505 in Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul and Spiti district was blocked for vehicular traffic on Friday following a landslide.

The landslide occurred during the morning hours between Chatru and Dorni nullah in Lahaul subdivision of the district, the state emergency operation centre said.

No loss of life or property was reported, the officials said, adding that the restoration work had been started on the highway.

The district administration has asked visitors travelling to Spiti from the Manali and Lahaul side or coming to Manali and Lahaul from the Spiti side to avoid their journey on the route till the road is opened to traffic.

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).
