Thiruvananthapuram, October 15

As heavy rain continued to batter Kerala on Sunday, landslides and flooding were reported from many parts of the state, especially its southernmost district of Thiruvananthapuram.

Heavy downpour since Saturday led to waterlogging and flooding of streets, roads and low-lying areas of Thiruvananthapuram district.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert in four -Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha – and yellow alert in eight districts of the state for the day. It also predicted isolated heavy rainfall in many places in the state in the coming days.

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).
