Even as the state is still reeling under the impact of heavy precipitation that occurred a couple of days back, the weather department has again issued an orange alert for heavy rain and snow for tomorrow. The alert has been issued for isolated places in the districts of Chamba, Kangra and Lahaul and Spiti. Elsewhere, the forecast is for light to moderate precipitation.

Close to 600 roads and over 2,200 power distribution transformers were disrupted across the state due to heavy rainfall and snowfall across the state. Even now, several roads and transformers are yet to be restored, causing a lot of inconvenience to the people.

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).
