A fire triggered by the battery of a laptop destroyed goods worth Rs 8 lakh at a flat in Savitry Green-2 on the Gazipur Road here on Tuesday morning.

Smoke engulfed the house. A woman, who was alone at the time of the mishap, got locked inside. Neighbours broke the door of the house to bail her out.

The house owner, Sandeep Choudhary, said he was out for some work. A fire tender had to be called to control the fire.

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).
