Kullu, March 21

Five children had a narrow escape as a tin shed housing three families was gutted in Siyal village at Manali today.

The children were alone at home and as soon as they ran out, three cylinders exploded, reducing the shed to ashes.

Landlord Rohit Sharma and other two families of Lalu and Naresh of Nepal suffered lost all their belongings.

Fire station in-charge Prem said the incident was reported at 2.45 pm and a team reached the spot soon and controlled the blaze. “Five trees in an adjoining garden were also damaged. There has been a loss of more than Rs 1 lakh.”

Meanwhile, DSP KD Sharma said the cause of the fire was being ascertained.

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).
