Five persons, including three employees and two customers, suffered injuries after an air-conditioner (AC) compressor exploded at a pizza outlet in North East Delhi’s Yamuna Vihar, the police said on Tuesday.

The incident took place at a building in C-Block around 8.55 pm. A team of the Delhi Fire Service also rushed to the spot and brought the fire under control. The injured persons were shifted to GTB Hospital. They were discharged after administering first aid.

However, a spokesperson for Pizza Hut, denied that the fire took place inside the outlet.

“None of our customers were harmed. Our store team members bravely helped control the fire, sustained injuries but are now recovering well. The team on the ground is extending full cooperation to the authorities in their investigation,” the eatery official 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).
