New Delhi, October 13

A minor fire broke out at a plastic granules factory in Udyog Nagar area of west Delhi on Friday morning, fire officials said. No casualty has been reported, they said.

According to the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) officials, the fire broke out at 6 am at the factory located near Udyog Nagar Metro station. At least 26 fire tenders were pressed into service which took four hours to control the blaze.

“The workers and other employees rushed out of the building on time,” an official said. The police said a short circuit is suspected to be the cause of the fire.

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).
