New Delhi: The Delhi Fire Services (DFS) has refused the fire safety certificate to a blind school at Sewa Kutir, citing shortcomings, according to a letter by the department. The officer, who inspected the building found that the building had only one staircase with a width of 1.25 m against the requirement of 1.50 m or/and additional staircase of 75 cm width. Besides, there was no fire extinguisher. The department has requested the Government Senior Secondary Special School for Boys with Blindness to rectify the shortcomings.

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).
