Kapurthala Deputy Commissioner Amit Kumar Panchal visited various flood-affected areas on Tuesday to assess the situation, reassuring the public that the condition of the Dhussi bandh remains completely under control.

XEN Drainage Sartaj Singh confirmed that all Dhusi bandhs along the Beas River in Kapurthala district are now fully secure with no immediate threats to the embankment. As a precautionary measure, work is ongoing to further reinforce the advance bandh near Khijarpur village.

Over 20,000 sandbags have been reserved at critical points in Amritpur and Butala villages to strengthen the embankment. The district administration has urged citizens not to believe in rumours and instead use the district-level helpline (01822-231990) for any information related to flood safety.

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).
