Fire destroyed wheat crop in 6 acres at Joniawas village in the Farukhnagar area this morning. Besides, 80 sprinkler pipes, worth Rs 4 lakh, were gutted.

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

A police team start investigating the matter.

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).
