Mandi, August 25

The district administration today also provided ration supply to the flood-affected remote areas of Mandi district with the help of Air Force choppers.

Deputy Commissioner Arindam Chaudhary said that ration, medicines and other essential materials were delivered to the residents of Karthach, Kashor, Oddhar and Bhatkidhar areas of Balichowki and Thunag sub-divisions with the help of Air Force choppers.

He said that flash floods and landslides on August 22 and 23 caused heavy destruction in the remote areas of Balichowki and Thunag subdivisions. Due to the collapse of roads, it was not possible to maintain supply of essential commodities.

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).
