Jammu, May 28

Braving inclement weather, Army and police personnel rescued at least 10 civilians who were stuck on the Old Mughal road following a landslide in Poonch, security men said today.

People contacted the police on phone at around 11 pm on Friday. The Surankote DSP informed the Army regarding the incident following which a team, accompanied by cops, reached the site and found six vehicles stranded, said Lieutenant Colonel Devender Anand, spokesperson of the Army based in Jammu.

After reassuring them, the rescue team immediately began clearing the road and subsequently 10 persons, including a woman and a child, were rescued and brought to the Army’s Poshana post where they were served refreshment with heating arrangements.

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).
