A fire rages on near the Mini-Secretariat in Gurugram on Saturday.

About 15 old vehicles, impounded by the RTO, were gutted after a fire broke out at a parking lot near the Mini-Secretariat on Saturday afternoon.

A fire brigade team reached the spot and controlled the fire in about 30 minutes.

The fire team managed to save 10 vehicles.

According to Fire Officer Ajmer Rathi, the destroyed vehicles were parked at a parking lot near the Mini-Secretariat, and had been impounded by the RTA after the expiry of their time limits.

At around 3 pm on Saturday, smoke was spotted billowing out of the parking lot.

After getting information, one fire engine from Bhim Nagar and two fire engines from the Sector 29 fire station were dispatched to the spot.

“It took about half an hour to control the fire. The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained,” Rathi 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).
