New Delhi, July 15

A fire erupted at four shops at the Mayur Vihar Phase-2 market in New Delhi around 11.30 pm on Sunday, causing extensive damage to the market area, though no casualties were reported.

Kalkaji residents Amar Preet Singh and Suman Jeet Singh said they own four shops of school uniforms in the market. “We closed our shops around 9.30 pm and went home. Around 11.30 pm, we were informed that a fire had broken out in our shops,” said Amar.

A police official said the fire started on the ground floor and quickly spread to the first and second floors, which house four additional shops and one hall on each floor. 25 fire tenders were dispatched to douse the fire, while its cause is yet to be determined.

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).
