A massive avalanche hit Gandhi Sarovar located 4 km above the Kedarnath Dham here early Sunday morning.

The avalanche that occurred near the Chorabari glacier fell into the valley, but there was no loss of life or property.

Devotees who went to visit the Kedarnath temple this morning captured on their mobile phones the natural phenomenon that occurred around 5 am. A huge mass of snow was seen sliding down at a high speed. It fell into a deep ravine.

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).
