Kullu, July 24

The district administration has alerted people living downstream of the Malana hydroelectric project in the Parvati valley of Kullu district as the reservoir water was flowing above the Malana-II barrage due to the jamming of floodgates.

Kullu DC Ashutosh Garg said that the floodgates of the Malana-II barrage had jammed because of silt or some other reason. He added that the Malana-I barrage was empty and so there was no major threat to people.

He said that the reservoir may be breached in case of a cloudburst or heavy ingress of floodwater and hence people living downstream had been alerted.

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).
