Patiala, July 5

The rainfall yesterday exposed the tall claims of the MC regarding monsoon preparedness as several areas were inundated.

The city registered 68.6 mm of rainfall till Sunday morning. The areas near the Nabha Gate, Language Department and Model Town were flooded. Other areas where drains were choked are book market, ‘dhobi ghat’ and Sai market.

Residents of Anardana Chowk were happy over the construction of new roads in the area due to which flooding was prevented.

The MC’s project of shifting of dairy farmers to Ablowal village is not yet complete. The Joint Commissioner said: “The project is in progress.” Commissioner Lal Vishwas said: “The MC and the Drainage Department are continuing the work of cleaning of all drains in their respective areas. The work is expected to be completed soon.” — TNS

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).
