Eight persons had a narrow escape as a machine caught fire inside Siund powerhouse of Parbati Hydro Project stage-II in Kullu district in the wee hours on Thursday.

The project is operated by National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Limited.

At the time of the incident, eight workers, including two engineers, were working inside the powerhouse.

While six persons were rescued immediately, the engineers were taken out after some time and were provided first aid.

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).
