AMRITSAR, JULY 14

A technical snag in a coach of the Amritsar-Howrah Mail delayed it for nearly 30 minutes. The incident occurred on the outskirts of Amritsar after the train departed from the Amritsar railway station at its scheduled time (6.25 pm).

Passengers noticed smoke billowing out from a coach of the train on the outskirts of Amritsar on Saturday. No injury to any persons was reported. The train was immediately stopped and with the assistance of some locals, passengers came out of the coach.

Even as passengers claimed to have seen an eruption of fire, railway officials said there was a technical problem called brake binding which led to smoke. Terrified passengers moved out of the train and raised an alarm. After the technical inspection of the coach by railway staff, the train was given the green signal to resume its onward journey.

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).
