Mohali, February 19

Garments worth Rs 16 lakh and furniture were destroyed in a fire that broke out at a shop in Mataur village in Mohali here last night.

Shop owner Mukesh Yadav (30) said the fire was caused by a short circuit. He said his brother, Vicky Kumar, received burn injuries as he was present inside the shop at the time of incident.

Residents, along with the help of fire brigade, managed to douse the flames in around 30 minutes.

Mukesh, a migrant from Bihar, said he had opened the shop three-and-a-half-years ago and a robbery was also committed in his shop last year.

The police have filed a DDR under Section 427 of the Indian Penal Code.

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).
