A stationary fuel tanker caught fire on the Ambala-Chandigarh national highway near Alamgir village this evening.

The incident took place around 8pm, causing damage to around 10 vehicles parked near an eatery. Fire tenders from Ambala, Dappar and nearby private firms rushed to the spot to douse the fire.

Fire officials had a tough time dousing the flames as long queues of vehicles were witnessed on the road. Chief fire officer Jaswant Singh said no injury has been reported in the incident.

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).
