A massive landslide near Pukhri blocked the Chamba-Tissa road on Thursday afternoon, halting traffic on both sides. The incident occurred around 2 pm. Fortunately, no vehicles or pedestrians were present at the time, as early signs of the landslide had prompted people to stay at a safe distance. Eyewitnesses said that the landslide caused the entire hillside to collapse onto the road, cutting off pedestrian access as well. Many people had to take long detours to reach the other side. Meanwhile, several vehicles rerouted via Rajnagar and Chaklu to continue their journey.

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).
