The Beas water level remained static at 1.16 lakh cusecs, causing damage to standing paddy crops sown over 25 to 30 acres in the mand areas of Sultanpur Lodhi, according to an official of the Drainage Department.

Department SDO Khushwinder Singh confirmed that the swollen Beas river has inundated more than 20 villages.

Meanwhile, followers of MP Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal strengthen the weak points on the banks of advance bundh near village Ahlikalan by putting 1,000 sand bags to save bundh from the fury of floods.

Farmers Balwinder Singh and Ranjit Singh expressed gratitude to Seechewal for strengthening the bundh at Ahlikalan and saved their nearly 150 acres of paddy crops from the fury of flood water.

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).
