Chandigarh, June 8

Panic gripped area residents as a fire broke out in the PNG pipeline in Sector 33 here this afternoon. The gas supply in the area was suspended for nearly six hours.

A fire tender was rushed to the spot and the fire was extinguished. The pipeline was later repaired.

There was no casualty in the incident. The cause of fire could not be ascertained so far.

The fire broke out after the pipeline got damaged by a JCB carrying out some digging work at the spot.

The Fire Department was informed about it. A fire tender was rushed to the spot and the blaze was put off.

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).
