Mandi, October 29

The Border Roads Organisation threw open the Manali-Leh highway for traffic movement last evening. This highway had remained blocked since October 17 due to heavy snowfall near Baralacha pass.

Deputy Commissioner, Lahaul and Spiti, Neeraj Kumar said, “In view of public safety, civil traffic is restricted on this highway from Darcha ahead towards Leh. However, the movement of Army vehicles is allowed towards Leh from Lahaul side.”

“We will review the situation of the highway tomorrow and thereafter a decision will be taken to restore it for normal traffic,” he added. — TNS

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).
