Shimla, February 28

A 75-year-old woman died as a fire broke out in her house in Himachal Pradesh’s Shimla district early on Tuesday.

The incident took place in Khalti, Shahdhar Panchayat of Rangori village in Rampur sub-division.

Shukri Devi was burnt alive in the fire that broke out around 2 am at the house of former deputy pradhan Mansingh.

The cause of the fire is not known, said Rampur Zone DSP Chandrashekhar.

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).
