Panchkula, May 29

Four shops were gutted in a fire at the Sector 7 market here late yesterday night.

The fire, which began around 2 am, damaged the ceiling of nearby shops also.

A short-circuit is suspected to have caused it. No one was injured, but three shops were gutted completely while one was partially damaged. Six fire engines rushed to the spot and controlled the fire.

Rs 1L relief to 3 owners

Haryana Speaker Gian Chand Gupta gave a compensation of Rs 1 lakh each to three shop owners and Rs 50,000 to one more shop owner from his discretionary quota.

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).
