Patiala, May 24

Rain lashed city on Wednesday bringing down the temperature and providing relief to residents. The Meteorological Department has predicted more rain in the coming two days, which is likely to bring temperatures further down and also result in low power demand.

Though it rained for less than half an hour in the morning, water accumulated on various roads, including Lower Mall road, near Gurdwara Dukhniwaran Sahib, Sheran Wala Gate, Lehal Colony, Tripuri, Chhoti Baradari and other areas of the city.

Maximum temperature dropped from 45 degree Celsius on Tuesday to 34 degree on Wednesday.

The rain spell brought relief for Punjab State Power Corporation Limited too as the demand recorded at 11900 MW on Tuesday in Punjab dropped to less than 9500 MW, here today.

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).
