With Punjab’s rivers Sutlej, Beas and Ravi in spate due to heavy monsoon, many of the reservoirs like Bhakra, Pong and Ranjit Sagar are filled close to capacity.

Experts have cautioned that if the heavy inflows continue for another day or two, the increased release of water from reservoirs to maintain levels could worsen flooding in Punjab’s low-lying areas.

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).
