New Delhi, June 15

Five shops were gutted in a fire at a market in South West Delhi’s Vasant Vihar area early Saturday, officials said. No one was injured in the incident.

The Delhi Fire Services received a call about the blaze at 5 am. “Ten fire tenders were pressed into service,” a DFS official stated. The fire was brought under control within an hour.

The fire started on the ground floor of a building in Vasant Vihar’s C Block Market and spread to the mezzanine and first floors. Officials suspect that a short circuit was 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).
