Chamba, August 12

Some machinery of a construction company kept alongside the Ravi was washed away by flood waters yesterday following cloudbursts in the Holy valley of Bharmour subdivision in Chamba district, an official report said here today.

In another incident, a portion of the Chowari to Lahru road linking the area with other parts of Kangra and Pathankot districts was blocked following landslides. Deputy Commissioner DC Rana said that efforts were being made to remove debris to restore the road to traffic as early as possible.

Meanwhile, relief and rescue operations were going on in areas hit by cloudbursts and resultant floods in the district, he added.

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).
