The Kapurthala administration on Tuesday issued an advisory, asking people to stay away from rivers and embankments.

The advisory comes after cracks surfaced in the main dhusi bundh along the Beas between Lakh Warian and Passan Kadim villages in Sultanpur Lodhi.

Several houses at Nawa Pind Patthe, Shahpur Peera and Preeti Nagar caved in due to incessant rain.

Meanwhile, the water flow in the Beas river continued to remain above 2 lakh cusecs.

The water level in both Chitti and Kali Bein also increased due to outflow from seasonal rivulets in Hoshiarpur. Floodgates of the Kanjli wetland were opened to prevent accumulation of water.

Kapurthala Deputy Commissioner Amit Kumar Panchal said the safety of people and property was their top priority due to which the advisory was issued.

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).
