New Delhi, December 9

Mandous over southwest Bay of Bengal is weakening into a cyclonic storm.

It would move northwest and cross north Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and adjoining south Andhra Pradesh coasts between Puducherry and Sriharikota around Mahabalipuram as a cyclonic storm during midnight — December 9 night to early hours of December 10, according to the IMD.

Its maximum sustained wind speed will be 65-75 kmph gusting to 85 kmph.

Mandous moved west-northwest with a speed of 13 kmph and lay centered at 5.30am on Friday over southwest Bay of Bengal near latitude 11°N and longitude 81.7°E, about 270 km north-northeast of Trincomalee (Sri Lanka), 230 km east-northeast of Jaffna (Sri Lanka), 200 km east of Karaikal and about 270 km south-southeast of Chennai, the weather office said.

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).
