The staff of Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University had a narrow escape when a bus ferrying them caught fire. There were 30 staff members in the bus, which was going from Chandigarh to the university, when the incident happened.

After the fire, smoke engulfed the bus creating panic among employees, who jumped out of the vehicle to save themselves. MGNREGA workers working on the roadside rushed to help them. However, no one was injured in the incident. — OC

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).
