Chandigarh, October 27

A massive fire broke out at a liquor factory in Industrial Area, Phase 1, in Chandigarh on Thursday. The fire engulfed all the three floors of the factory building.

Firemen have been trying to douse the flames for the last two hours. The firemen said they are yet to find out whether someone is trapped inside or not.

Though short-circuit is said to be the possible reason behind the fire, but the fire safety department is yet to ascertain it.

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).
