A man was killed while his son sustained burns after a fire broke out following gas cylinder explosion at their house in Shikohpur village on Monday morning. The minor has been admitted to hospital.

According to the police, Sushil, a resident of Kumbhavas village in Rewari, had gone to sleep with his family on Sunday night when he learnt that gas had leaked from the cylinder, following which he sent his children out of the room. As soon as he switched, there was a huge explosion in the cylinder and fire broke out. Sushil suffered severe burns, leading to his death, while his son got injured.

A senior police official said the victim’s body was handed over to kin after the post-mortem examination. The fire was brought under control by the neighbours. A further probe was underway, he added.

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).
