Chamba, July 23

Continuous heavy rain and flash floods in nullahs have caused losses of around Rs 2.97 crore to various water supply schemes in the Churah area of Chamba district in the past few days, an official report said.

Besides water supply schemes, a subdivisional store and a complaint room of the Jal Shakti Vibhag at Bairagarh was also damaged. The water supply schemes at Devikothi, Satyas, Tikrigarh, Charda, Bhageigarh, Jassourgarh, Jhajhakothi, Guila, Sanwal, Chachul, Masroond, Chakloo, Rajnagar Kiani, Pukhri and other areas had suffered damages, the report stated.

However, efforts were being made on a war footing to restore the schemes.

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).
