Chandigarh, June 28

A fire broke out in the forest area adjacent to the Sector 33 fuel station here today.

According to a fireman, the fire broke out about 8:45 pm. The blaze took petrol pump staff as well as customers by surprise and the fuel station was closed as a precautionary measure, said an official.

At the time of filing this report, four fire tenders had already been pressed in to douse the fire. Sources said the fire erupted from the waste dumped on the backside of the petrol pump. However, the exact cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained. — 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).
