A bitumen plant in Sanauli, near Zirakpur, suffered extensive damage as fire broke out today afternoon. Panic spread in the area as huge clouds of smoke billowed from the NH Construction Private Limited Bitumen plant. Three large-sized containers caught fire even as construction firm management pressed earthmoving machines to dump soil in the affected area. Two firetenders rushed to the spot and began operation.

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).
