Mandi, September 16

The Manali-Leh highway was on Thursday blocked for traffic movement after a massive landslide at Nehru Kund.

The landslide occurred at Nehru Kund near Manali towards Keylong in Kullu district. No loss of life was reported.

The Border Roads Organisation has engaged its workforce and machinery to clear the highway for normal traffic in the region. The restoration work of road is under progress in the region.

Meanwhile, the Chandigarh-Manali highway was on Thursday morning restored for normal traffic between Mandi and Kullu. The road was blocked since Wednesday evening due to a massive landslide near Aut in Mandi district.

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).
