Gurugram, April 1

Wheat crop on six acres at Joniawas village in the Farukhnagar area was destroyed in a fire Tuesday morning. Besides, 80 sprinkler pipes worth Rs 4 lakh were also gutted.

The cause behind the fire could not be known. The fields belong to two farmers. Villagers managed to stop the fire from spreading and doused it using tube-well water. A fire engine also reached the village and extinguished the flames.

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).
