Bathinda, April 29

A bus conductor was burnt alive as four buses parked at the bus stand at Bhagta Bhai Ka town in this district were gutted on Thursday night following a fire.

The conductor was sleeping in one of the buses. Gurdas Singh was employed with a private bus company.

The cause of the fire has not been ascertained yet.

Two of the buses belonged to New Malwa Bus Company, one to Jalal Bus Service and the other to GBS Bus Service. Two of the buses were brand new and were yet to ply on the scheduled routes.

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).
