Dera Bassi, June 6

Fire broke out at a warehouse in Bhagwanpur village on Barwala Road. It took more than four hours for fire officials to douse the flames. However, by then the goods were reduced to ashes.

The incident happened on Saturday night. S Suresh Kumar, owner of S Kumar Fabricatons and Contractors, said he suffered loss worth lakhs of rupees after the cotton waste in the warehouse caught fire.

Dera Bassi Fire Officer Baljt Singh said, “The fire was brought under control with the help of three fire tenders from Dera Bassi and one from Zirakpur. No casualty has been reported in the incident.”

Fire officials said the exact cause of fire would be known later. — TNS

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).
