Una, June 20

Additional Deputy Commissioner Mahender Pal Gurjar yesterday presided over a meeting of the District Disaster Management Agency to review the preparedness for the coming monsoon season and also coordination between various departments and agencies in mitigating damage caused due to flash floods and excessive rainfall. The civic authorities in the urban areas of Una, Mehatpur, Santoshgarh and Amb were directed to ensure that drains were cleaned.

All five SDMs in the district were directed to ensure that people living near the banks of the Swan river and its tributaries were moved to safer places.

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).
