Kullu, February 4

Kullu town experienced the second snowfall of the season at noon today. It was a mild snowfall, which got washed away with the accompanying rain. The rain, however, stopped in the afternoon while the sky remained overcast.

The Kullu valley was in the grip of cold wave following rain in the lower region and snow on the higher reaches. There was around one foot of snow in the Manali town, however, the national highway between Kullu and Manali was through for traffic. The tourists enjoyed frolicking amid fresh snowfall. Many routes were affected due to snowfall and commuters had to face inconvenience. The vehicular traffic on many link roads had also been disrupted.

Kullu DC Ashutosh Garg said 56 roads and 150 electricity transformers were affected and work of restoration was underway. —

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).
