Mandi, July 8

Over 100 goats and sheep were killed in a massive landslide at Palamdhara in Lahaul-Spiti district today.

Police teams, accompanied by veterinary doctors from the Animal Husbandry Department, rushed to the mishap scene. The immediate focus of the rescue operation was to evaluate any remaining risks posed by the unstable terrain and ensure the safety of any surviving livestock.

Eyewitnesses recounted the chaos and devastation that unfolded as rocks cascaded down the slopes giving little time to the cattle to run for safety. Lahaul-Spiti DC Rahul Kumar said efforts were underway to support the affected families.

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).
