Spanish emergency authorities on Friday raised the death toll from devastating flash floods to at least 205 victims, 202 of them in Valencia alone.

Rescuers are still searching for bodies in stranded cars and sodden buildings Friday, three days after the massive flash floods that swept away everything in their path in the east of Spain. An unknown number of people remain missing.

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).
