A fire broke out in an Air India bus parked near Terminal 3 (T3) of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport around 1 pm on Monday, officials said.

Fire tenders, local police and teams from the CISF and other agencies rushed to the spot to extinguish the blaze.

“The bus was not carrying any passengers or luggage at that time. Only the driver was inside when the incident occurred,” an official said.

In a statement, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) said the bus was stationary when the fire broke out and that the flames were quickly brought under control.

The incident caused no injuries or casualties and did not affect airport operations, DIAL added.

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).
