Faridabad, October 9

At least 20 cars and other vehicles were reduced to ashes after a massive fire broke out in a Maruti car showroom at Pyali Chowk in the NIT area here on Thursday night around 12.30 am.

The fire was doused in about four hours by six fire tenders pressed into the job. No injuries were reported.

Though the cause of the fire yet to be ascertained, sources in the fire department said the fire could have been caused due to electrical short circuit.

The police have launched a probe into it.

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).
