Karnal, April 26

The officials of the Fire Department remained on toes in Karnal and Kaithal districts on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday as 54 incidents of farm fires were reported in the two districts due to gusty storm.

As per information, the fire was spread by the sudden storm. Following the incidents, Deputy Commissioners (DC) of Karnal and Kaithal have sought report from the respective Revenue Departments to determine the loss.

So far, six incidents have been reported in Kaithal.

“The Revenue Department says farm fires were reported in 49 villages,” said Anish Yadav, DC, Karnal.

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).
