Shimla, August 16

As many as 15 rooms of two-storey Government Senior Secondary School at Kalbog in Kotkhai subdivision of Shimla district were gutted by a fierce fire that broke out around 11 pm yesterday. However no loss of life was reported.

The school was made of wood and fire engines summoned from Kotkhai, Jubbal and Tikker could not douse the fire. Important documents, school record and furniture were burnt to ashes.

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).
