The local bus depot of Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) will restore bus service on as many as 35 suspended routes in the district.

Services on some routes were suspended following low turnout of passengers while buses on other routes did not ply due to technical snags in eight buses which could not be repaired following protest by the technical staff.

It was learnt that the scarcity of new tyres was also one reasons for suspension of bus services. It was surprising that yesterday, buses only on 48 routes were operational. Sources revealed that the buses plied only on major routes.

Vivek Lakhanpal, Regional Manager of the HRTC, here said workers had returned from the strike and the service on the remaining routes would be restored in three days.

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).
