Mandi, July 2

The Sansari-Killar-Tandi road was blocked following flash flood in the Shansha nullah in Lahaul and Spiti district today. Vehicular traffic on the road came to a standstill. The police said that as soon as the water level recedes, the road would be restored to traffic.

Yesterday, flash flood in the Miyar valley of Lahaul and Spiti district had damaged agricultural land and crops. According to official sources, seven farmers of Changut village in the Miyar valley lost their crops. The district administration was assessing losses caused due to flash flood.

Besides, a few link roads in the Lahaul region were also damaged in flash floods in the past two days. However, no loss of life was reported.

As temperatures have risen in the Lahaul valley, snow at glaciers is melting rapidly, increasing water discharge in rivers and rivulets.

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).
