Sonepat, January 28

A major fire broke out at a two-storeyed car accessory showroom at Subhash Chowk here this afternoon.

Sunil, owner of the accessories shop, said when he saw smoke billowing out of the first floor of his shop in the evening, he immediately informed the Fire Brigade about the incident. Those present at the site and other shopkeepers tried to douse the flames. The reason behind the fire was yet to be ascertained. Ten fire engines were pressed into service. It took around three hours to control the flames, said the fire officer.

No casualty was reported in the mishap.

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).
