NURPUR, AUGUST 20

The water level of the Pong lake was only seven feet below the danger mark on Saturday.

The Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB), Talwara, issued a high alert to the civil and police administration in Kangra district. Indora, Fatehpur, Jawali and Nurpur administration have issued advisories to the public not to go near the Beas and the Shahnahar in the lower area of the Pong Dam.

There is possibility to release the excess quantity of water in the Shahnahar Barrage Reservoir and the same quantity of water may be released into the Beas. The BBMB has decided to open the barrage of the dam.

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).
