Nahan, February 1

The season’s first snowfall threw life out of gear in the higher reaches of Sirmaur district this morning. Hundreds of villages were powerless and several interior roads were closed. The movement of vehicles continued on the Haripurdhar-Nahan road, but a bus got stuck near Kharoti village on the Solan-Ronhat-Minas road, which disrupted the traffic on this route for three hours.

Vehicles coming from Solan and Shimla were also stuck for hours. The traffic on another interior road, Haripurdhar-Kupvi, came to a standstill due to the heavy snowfall. Around six buses were stuck on this route between Sailpab and Khadah village.

More than 400 villages of the trans-Giri area and 80 villages of the Sangrah area remained powerless for several hours. Electricity supply was also disrupted in over 100 villages of Nohradhar area.

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).
