Shimla, September 6

Vehicular movement on the National Highway No 5 that was on Monday blocked at Jeori near Rampur in Shimla district after a landslide is expected to be resumed by Monday night.

According to Rampur SDM Yadvendra Pal, one-way traffic is expected to be restored if shooting stones do not create hurdles.

Three JCB machines have been deployed from both sides to clear the National Highway no. 5.

The road has been closed since 9 am. No vehicle or person was on this stretch of the road when the landslide occurred.

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).
