The NDRF's daring rescue was captured in a video shared on X, showing the officer navigating a ropeway across the flooded river to reach the stranded child. Upon reaching the electric pole, the officer attached a carabiner, enabling the child to zipline to safety.

The heavy downpour caused significant damage, with shops, hotels, and structures swept away in Dehradun district.

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).
