Chandigarh, September 11

An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 hit near Uttarakhand’s Pauri Garhwal area, 31 km southwest of Joshimath.

According to India’s National Centre for Seismology, the tremors were felt 31 kilometres southwest of Joshimath at 5.58 am on Saturday.

No loss of life has been reported.

Pipalkoti is located 11 km from the epicentre and Joshimath is 28 km away.

Tremors were also felt in Srinagar, Garhwal, Pauri, Tehri and Almora.

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).
