Palampur, March 14

High-velocity winds accompanied by rain and hailstorm lashed Palampur and its adjoining areas on Friday night, disrupting life in many parts of the region.

Holta, Banuri, Tanda Mehanja Rajpur, Panchrukhi areas were the worst affected where standing crops were damaged. Many trees got uprooted, blocking local roads and highways.

The power supply was also disrupted in several parts of Palampur. Traffic to Chhota Bhanghal was suspended following heavy snowfall near Multhan, Bara Gram, Luhardi and Kothi Kohar. Billing, famous paragliding destination near Palampur, recorded one-foot snow by Saturday afternoon. A number of tourists have been stranded at Billing and Chhota Bhanghal.— OC

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).
