A man suffered serious burn injuries after a fire broke out in a house in Jagdamba Colony. Short-circuit was said to be the reason behind the incident. The victim, identified as Rajiv Mehra (55), is stated to be serious and has been admitted to a private hospital.

It took around two hours for the fire brigade to douse the fire. The house was badly gutted in the incident.

According to information received, Rajiv Mehra was alone in the house when the incident occurred. The other members of the family had gone outside

the house.

Eyewitnesses told the police that smoke suddenly started coming out. Amidst all this, a blast occurred and fire engulfed the entire house. The victim was somehow brought out and rushed to hospital.

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).
