Faridabad, July 5

Five students travelling in a private school van had a narrow escape as the vehicle suddenly caught fire on Friday morning.

The driver halted the vehicle as soon he saw fumes coming out of the engine, allowing occupants to safely come out of the van before the fire engulfed its engine. The fire was doused within 10 minutes. A short circuit in the engine’s wiring was reported to be the main cause behind the incident that took place around 8 am near the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.

The students were shifted to another vehicle to drop them at their school at Chandawali village, said police sources.

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).
