The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Punjab, forecasting light to moderate rain at some places over the next three days.

Heavy rainfall has also been predicted at isolated places. Over the past 24 hours, light to moderate rain occurred at some places in the state, while heavy rainfall was reported from isolated places. The monsoon activity in the state was described as “normal” by the IMD. SAS Nagar was the wettest district having received 46.6 mm of rainfall during this period, followed by Ropar with 22.5 mm and Muktsar with 6.8 mm. The seasonal rainfall in Punjab since June 1 is 24 per cent above the long period average.

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).
