Ropar, July 11

Life began returning to normal in Ropar as no rain was reported today after three days of downpour which submerged hundreds of villages in the district. The worst- affected areas, still reeling under the after-effects, include the towns of Ropar, Morinda, Chamkaur Sahib and Nurpur Bedi.

The floods have led to death of two persons in the district.

Water in the Sutlej receded to 24,666 cusecs against 1.81 lakh yesterday evening. The tributaries of the river also witnessed a drastic reduction in water levels, as Swan which had witnessed 10,000 cusecs of water on Sunday, was recorded with only 64 cusecs today evening.

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).
