Gurugram, April 20

A fire broke out in a playschool-cum-daycare centre that was being illegally run in a house in 4/8 Marla Model Town Colony on Thursday afternoon. No casualty has been reported as no student was there in the school at that time.

Two fire tenders were pressed into service, and with the efforts of 10 firefighters the situation was brought under control after two hours. The fire broke out around 1.30 pm at Rising Preschool due to short circuit while a mechanic was repairing an air-conditioner there. The mechanic saved himself but tables, chairs, boards and other infrastructure was gutted by fire.

“The fire broke out while the mechanic was repairing an air-conditioner in the school, and it rapidly spread in all three rooms of the school.

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).
