A private chartered bus hired to transport people for a marriage function caught fire in southeast Delhi’s Jaitpur area, an official said on Thursday.

No one was injured in the incident, as the bus had no passengers at the time and the driver immediately exited the vehicle after noticing smoke from the engine.

“A call regarding the fire was received at 8:10 am from School Chowk, and two fire tenders were dispatched to the location,” an official from the Delhi Fire Service said.

The fire was extinguished within an hour, the official added.

It is suspected that a short circuit triggered the fire, police said.

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).
