Mohali, June 4

Goods worth lakhs were destroyed in a fire at a commercial tower in Phase 8B, Industrial Area, today. The fire erupted in the top two floors of Mohali Towers in the afternoon. It took the firefighters more than two hours to control the blaze. Fire officials said short-circuit might have led to the fire. Furniture, office items worth Rs 6 lakhs were said to have been destroyed in the fire, the police said, adding that no one was injured in the accident.

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).
