A Punjab Roadways bus caught fire last midnight. The bus was completely damaged in the fire. The bus was parked at the Punjab Roadways workshop located near Qila Gobindgarh.

It took nearly an hour for the fire brigade to douse the flames. The bus had returned from Chandigarh. The reason behind the fire is yet to be ascertained.

According to information, the bus reached Punjab Roadways workshop around 2.30 am. When employees arrived at the workshop at 5 am, they found the bus engulfed in fire. Fire tenders reached the spot and doused the flames.

The workshop authorities said the bus was completely gutted. There were 50 buses parked at the workshop at that time of the incident, they said.

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).
