Mandi, July 15

The Chandigarh-Manali national highway was restored to traffic between Mandi and Kullu districts around 10 am today.

The highway was blocked last evening due to a massive landslide at 7 Mile, near the town. The police diverted light vehicles via the Mandi-Kataula-Kullu route. The road is fit only for light vehicles.

In another landslide incident near the Victoria Bridge on the Pathankot-Mandi highway, a vehicle was damaged badly after a big boulder fell on it. At the time of incident, no one was inside the vehicle parked on the roadside.

Due to heavy rain, agricultural land in Tanva, Kumi and Syanh villages in the Balh valley of the district was submerged. Villagers said due to a poor drainage system, floodwaters entered their fields and damaged crops. They demanded compensation for the loss suffered.

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).
