A massive fire engulfed a dyeing factory at the Focal Point in the wee hours of Thursday, reducing the goods to ashes.

After a 4-hour battle, firefighters finally brought the blaze under control. However, the factory’s walls and roof had already collapsed, reducing the structure to ashes. “The cause of the fire is still unknown and under investigation,” said a fire department official. Fortunately, not even a single casualty has been reported. Authorities concerned will conduct a thorough probe to determine the cause of the fire and assess the damage.

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).
