Tragedy struck in Delhi’s Old Chandrawal area when a fire broke out in a house, killing a 28-year-old woman and injuring her two children. The deceased has been identified as Arti. She was a housewife.

According to the police, they received a PCR call on Saturday informing about the fire following which a team was rushed to the spot at Old Chandrawal in the Majnu Ka Tila area.

However, by the time the police reached the spot, Arti had already passed away.

“The incident also resulted in injuries to two minor children who were present in the house. They were rushed to LNJP Hospital for treatment,” said Sagar Singh Kalsi, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North).

After initial probe, it was found that fire broke out in the room where Arti was present, leading to her unfortunate demise, said Kalsi. — IANS

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).
