Two shops and a scooter were gutted after a fire broke out in Tilak Market in Delhi’s Ramesh Nagar area in the early hours of Thursday, officials from the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) said. No casualties were reported in the incident.

According to DFS officials, the Fire Department received a call at 2:55 am. Five fire tenders were immediately rushed to the spot to contain the blaze.

“A toy shop, a watch shop, and a scooter parked nearby were completely gutted in the fire,” a DFS officer said, adding that the flames were brought under control by 4:05 am.

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).
