A fire broke out at a building in central Delhi’s Barakhamba Road, officials said.

No injury due to the fire has so far been reported.

According to the fire officials, they received information regarding the blaze at 6.20 pm, following which seven or eight fire tenders were rushed to the spot.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Pranav Tayal said the fire had broken out on the ninth floor of the DCM building where the PNB bank has an office.

“Fire tenders have rushed to the spot and efforts are being made to douse the fire. As of now, no input of anyone being trapped in the building is there,” Tayal said.

Visuals showed firefighters using crane to spray water on the ninth floor in efforts to douse the blaze.

The fire officials said the blaze was brought under control at 8.35 pm and the cooling process is underway.

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).
