Mandi, September 18

The Mandi-Kullu road was restored to traffic via Kataula in Mandi district after about eight hours today.

This road was blocked to traffic between Mandi and Kullu during morning hours due to a landslide at Kamand. As a result, traffic had been suspended for hours between Mandi and Kullu.

The Chandigarh-Manali highway was, however, open to traffic between Mandi and Kullu. So the traffic was diverted on this highway.

The police said that soon after the landslide, the Public Works Department engaged its workforce and machinery to restore the road to traffic at Kamand. The debris has now been cleared and the road is open for traffic.

The Mandi-Kullu road via Kataula is an alternative route between the two towns. This road is fit only for the movement of light vehicles.

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).
