A fire broke out at a paint factory in Karnal on Monday evening

The factory, Karna Paints Pvt. Ltd near Industrial area, is on National Highway 44. Thick plumes of smoke billowed as three fire tenders fought off the flames. The factory was empty. There has been no reported fatality in the incident.

Reason for the fire is yet unclear.

Authorities said they were using a drone camera to determine the extent of the fire.

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).
