One person was killed and six others were injured on Thursday after a fire broke out at a factory in northeast Delhi’s Mustafabad area, officials said.

A call about the blaze was received at 12.17 pm following which seven fire tenders were rushed to the spot, officials said.

The blaze was brought under control at 1 pm, fire department officials said.

“The fire broke out on the first floor of a factory manufacturing electric items (inverter, stablizer etc) injuring seven persons who were rushed to the GTB Hospital.

“Of them, one person was declared dead and another person is in serious condition. The building is spread over an area of about 200 square yards,” Fire Department Director Atul Garg said.

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).
