Ferozepur, July 13

A portion of the bridge at Hajara Singh Wala village collapsed due to the strong water current in the Sutlej today.

The bridge was the only link to more than 20 villages, including Gatti Rajo Ke, Bhakhra, Jallo Ke, Tendi Wala, Gatti Rahime Ke, Chandiwala, Chugge Mehtab Singh Wala, besides others.

Jagtar Singh, a resident of Tendi Wala village, said due to heavy discharge of water and soil erosion, a portion of the bridge had collapsed.

“The repair work will be completed soon. Till then temporary steps will be taken to restore connectivity,” said Zira SDM Gagandeep Singh.

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).
