Shimla, July 12

A portion of the Bhattakuffar fruit mandi located on the outskirts of Shimla collapsed due to a landslide on Wednesday.

However, the commission agents continue trading in other portion of the marketyard.

The APMC had issued orders to stop the trade from this mandi but the arhtiyas have not complied with the orders yet.

IIT-Mandi had in 2022 declared the Bhattakuffer Fruit Mandi unsafe for trading and gathering of people until remedial measures are taken to restore the site that was damaged in a landslide some years back.

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).
