Dera Bassi, March 3

Seven families in Kakrali village were bereft of shelter when a major fire burnt their shanties near Barwala road today evening.

Residents rushed out of their homes as soon as the panic gripped the area. The raging fire gave no time to residents to salvage their belongings. No loss of life was reported in the incident.

Locals pulled out two gas cylinders from the fire to prevent a major accident.

Residents said their savings amounting to thousands of rupees and a motorcycle was burnt to ashes in the fire.

Mubarikpur police and fire brigade personnel reached the spot and brought the fire under control with the help of villagers.

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).
