The Border Roads Organisation pressed into service its personnel and machinery to clear the snow from the highway. However, the Himachal transport corporation’s Keylong depot suspended its Delhi-Leh bus service.

The bus service on the Kullu-Kaza route was also suspended due to fresh snow at Kunzum pass. The Manali-Keylong road also remained blocked for hours as a huge boulder rolled down from the hillside on the road at Nehru Kund near Manali. — 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).
