Gurugram, January 5

A fire broke out at the corporate office of the Jindal Combines building in Sector-44 today. However, no casualties were reported.

More than 20 fire engines were pressed into service. The blaze came under control after five hours.

The fire was first reported by a company guard at 3.24 am. The office is situated on the sixth floor. No employee was present when the incident took place, but furniture and electronic items were gutted.

“The reason for the fire is yet to be ascertained. Luckily, no one was injured in the incident. We suspect that a short-circuit could be a cause of the incident, but it will be cleared after detailed investigations. The exact cost of damage is yet to be determined,” said assistant divisional fire officer Isham Singh Kashyap.

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).
