After days of intense heat and high humidity, Ludhiana finally got a welcome respite as moderate to heavy rainfall lashed various parts of the city on Sunday evening. The sudden showers brought down temperatures significantly, offering relief to residents who had been reeling under the sweltering conditions.

“It was becoming unbearable, especially with frequent power cuts. Today’s rain felt like a blessing,” said Neha, a homemaker from BRS Nagar.

The city had been experiencing temperatures soaring above 42°C for the past week, coupled with high humidity levels that made conditions extremely uncomfortable. The downpour not only lowered the temperature, but also improved the air quality and settled the dust on city roads.

India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted more showers in the coming days.

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).
