Mandi, December 24

A part of the under-construction Deu-Khotinal tunnel on Kiratpur-Manali highway collapsed in Mandi district. At the time, several labourers were engaged in construction work in the area. The labourers had a narrow escape as they ran away from the spot before a section of the tunnel caved in.

A few days ago, both portals of the tunnel were connected by the construction company. The cave-in during construction scared the labourers. However, no loss of life or injury were reported.

NHAI officials have denied any such incident occured in the tunnel. However, Mandi Deputy Commissioner Arindam Chaudhary confirmed the incident. The DC said: “I have asked the construction company to submit a report to the district administration within two days.”

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).
