A moderate earthquake of magnitude 3.7 struck Jai Devi in Mandi district at 8.42 am today. According to the latest reports from the seismological department, the earthquake had a depth of 7 km.

The epicentre was located at a latitude of 31.48° N and longitude of 76.95° E in the Mandi region. Authorities have not reported any significant damage or casualties so far, but residents in the region felt the tremors.

The earthquake’s moderate intensity has raised concerns, as Himachal Pradesh is known to be seismically active. The authorities have been monitoring the situation closely, and there are no immediate reports of major disruptions to infrastructure or services.

The residents are urged to remain vigilant and follow safety protocols in case of aftershocks.

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).
