The company manufactures technical textiles such as polyurethane and PVC — both highly inflammable materials — which fuelled the blaze. The fire, believed to have started in the manufacturing area, spread rapidly but was brought under control by 11:58 pm.

While a significant portion of the property was saved, the incident resulted in heavy damage to the production section. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined and an investigation is underway.

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).
