Shimla, November 23

The National Highway-5 was blocked for vehicular traffic near Theog in Shimla district district of Himachal Pradesh following a massive landslide.

The landslide occurred near Khachi Mod in Theog late on Monday night.

Efforts were on to clear the highway for traffic. People have been advised to use alternate routes, officials said.

The traffic for the movement of light vehicles coming from Shimla side has been diverted via Sarion-Halai-Sandhu and through Sandhu-Jadeog-Devimor from Narkanda side, while heavy vehicles from Dhalli side are being diverted via Basantapur Kingal, the officials said.

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).
