Phagwara, June 5

Rain and high velocity winds wreaked havoc in the region at Phagwara, Goraya, Phillaur, Banga, Nawanshahr, Nurmahal, Nakodar, Apra and Bilga towns, uprooting a number of trees and damaging electricity poles late on Wednesday evening, rendering large parts of the area powerless.

Due to the strong winds, a large number of trees were uprooted, affecting the flow of traffic on the Phagwara-Hoshiarpur road, Phagwara-Banga road, Phagwara-Jandiala-Nakodar road and Nurmahal-Nakodar road.

A huge tree fell in the middle of the road between Phagwara-Jandiala and another between Jandiala-Nakodar, disrupting road traffic.

Even power supply in most parts of Phagwara city was also disrupted due to thunderstorm and strong winds.

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).
