Gurugram, January 8

A moving car caught fire on the Delhi-Gurugram expressway on Monday afternoon.

While no casualty was reported, the vehicle was gutted in fire. Besides, the incident led to a long traffic jam on the expressway and an ambulance also remained stuck in the snarl-up. After the fire was extinguished, traffic on the highway became normal in about half an hour.

Car driver Amir Khan said he was going from Delhi to a Gurugram court. He saw smoke rising from the bonnet of the car on the expressway near Rajiv Chowk around 4 pm. He immediately stopped the vehicle on the roadside and came out of the car. He said a CNG kit was installed in the car and the entire car was soon engulfed in flames and got completely burnt.

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).
