Faridabad, July 31
Around 10 huts on the Surajkund International Craft Mela ground were engulfed in a fire that broke out on Tuesday evening. The fire was extinguished after about half an hour, and no one was injured.
According to the police, the fire broke into huts that had been lying vacant around 7.30 pm. Fire tenders arrived shortly after the incident and managed to put out the fire within 30 minutes. The cause of the fire remains unknown.
While the frames and structures of most permanent huts remain standing throughout the year, they are allotted to invited artisans and craftspersons during the 17-day fair organised each February. — TNS

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).
