Tribune News Service

New Delhi, August 1
Torrential rain across parts of Uttarakhand claimed 14 lives, including three from a single family, and left several injured, stranded and missing.
Three members of a family — Bhanu Prasad (50), his wife Neelam Devi (45) and son Vipin (28) — were killed in a landslide that buried their roadside cafe after a cloudburst at Jakhanyali village of Tehri district’s Ghansali. Emergency workers rescued 1,500 pilgrims from the Kedarnath yatra route; another 425 from Bhimbali, Rambada and Lincholi were airlifted. Tehri and Rudraprayag were the worst hit with Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami visiting the spot and meeting with kin of those deceased.
Meanwhile, officials said the Kedarnath Yatra was suspended amid the inclement weather conditions as the heavy downpour triggered landslides at many places.

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).
