Solan, November 16

The higher reaches of Sirmaur district, including Churdhar, Haripurdhar and Nohradhar in Sirmaur district, received the season’s first snowfall.

People woke up to a white mantle in these higher reaches even as some areas continued to receive snow in the morning too. Rain also lashed the region in the day.

It is after several years that the region has received snow in the month of November. While it brought cheer to farmers, several areas of trans-Giri plunged into darkness for several hours since last evening. Power supply was restored in the day after more than 15 hours.

Deputy Commissioner, Sirmaur, Dr RK Pruthi, said two to three inches of snow had fallen in the higher reaches of the Haripurdhar area and the highest peak of Churdhar too was submerged in snow this morning. — TNS

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).
