A major fire broke out at a textile factory in the Pasina industrial area late Sunday evening. The fire engulfed the factory, and it took over 10 hours to douse the flames. No casualty was reported in the incident, but machinery, final goods, and raw material worth crores of rupees were gutted in the fire.

As per information, the incident occurred at the Om Balaji Textile factory here. Two fire tenders reached the spot after getting information.

Factory owner Hariom Gupta claimed that the fire brigade reached the spot late, as personnel were occupied in another fire-fighting operation. A short circuit is suspected to be the reason behind the fire, an official said.

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).
