Mandi, October 13

Komic, the world’s highest village in Himachal, has been connected to Kaza by a metalled road.

The Public Works Department has metalled the road at 14,400 ft for better road connectivity. Now, tourists visiting Komic village in the Spiti valley will enjoy a comfortable ride from Kaza.

It is a 22-km distance from Kaza. The village is situated at a height of 15,027 feet.

Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and majestic valleys, Komic village attracts a large number of tourists, who want to experience the stunning beauty of nature and the beautiful culture.

Executive Engineer (XEN) of the PWD, Kaza, Tashi Gyamjo said the road from Kaza to Komic had been metalled at a cost of Rs 25 crore. “Now, residents of Komic will transport their agricultural produce to distant markets in time and fetch better prices,” he added.

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).
