Threat of flood looms large over many villages in Bassi Pathana sub-division, including Nogawan, Rampur Kaleran, Ganduan and Alampur villages after water level increased in in the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal.

Earlier, more than 15 villages in Bassi Pathana sub-division had suffered huge losses due to the breach in embankments of the SYL.

Ironically, sewer of Kharar and adjoining towns released into the SYL led to the flooding in the area.

Bassi Pathana SDM Ashok Kumar said water had been coming from Morinda due to the breach in the SYL near Naugaon village. Sarpanches of the affected villages said the administration had not taken any steps to resolve the issue. They alleged that waste water of Kharar and adjoining areas was being discharged into the SYL.

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).
