A retaining wall collapsed this morning in the Panthaghati residential area of Shimla, sending rubble crashing onto the roof of a building located just below. As a precaution, the building has been vacated and the two families residing there have been relocated to safer accommodations.

This is not the first incident in the area — a minor landslide had been reported earlier, highlighting the vulnerability of the terrain. The latest collapse has blocked the internal pathway of the colony, causing significant inconvenience to residents.

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).
