The rain that lashed the region last night has led to a sharp increase in the water level in the Chandbhan drain, causing a temporary bridge at Rupana village on the Muktsar-Malout road to submerge. As a result, the traffic movement on the stretch has been suspended.

“Due to safety concerns, the traffic has been diverted through nearby villages until the water recedes. Some people are, however, still risking their lives,” said Sajan Khosa, son a former sarpanch.

Villagers urged the administration to expedite the construction of the new bridge to save them from inconvenience.

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).
