Mandi, June 16

The construction of a ropeway from Pandoh to the Baglamukhi temple is posing threat to a nearby house at Bakhli village in the district.

House owner Bhupender Singh says, “Threat is looming large over my house as the area may witness landslide during the monsoon due to the cutting of land near my house. It has been observed that the loose earth often slides down the hill near my house, which may lead to its collapse.” He has urged the construction company to take timely action to prevent landslides in the area.

Singh says the previous government had sanctioned the ropeway to promote religious tourism in the region. He asserts that he is not against the construction of the ropeway, but does not want to lose his house. “I urge the district administration to look into the matter and give necessary directions to the construction company,” he adds.

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).
