Gurugram, April 1

A massive fire broke out in a junk godown in the Sector 37 D area today. A junk godown, over a dozen shanties and a CNG mini truck were gutted.

More than 10 fire engines were pressed into service and it took five hours to douse the fire. The smoke was visible from several kilometres and the vehicular movement on Basai Road was also affected for some time due to the smoke. The firefighters not only controlled the fire but also saved a nearby company and a housing society from burning. The cause behind the fire has not been ascertained yet.

Gulshan Kalra, Deputy Director (Technical) of the Fire Department, said the fire station was informed about the fire at 2.45 pm. After this, fire brigade vehicles were dispatched from Sector 37, Bhim Nagar and the Sector 29 Fire Station to the spot.

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).
