Shimla, May 6

A famous bakery shop in the Lakkar Bazaar area here was gutted in fire on Saturday morning but no loss of life was reported, officials said.

The shutter of the Tripti was down and the fire was noticed around 7.15 am as smoke started billowing out, they said.

According to officials, two fire tenders were rushed to the spot and fire department personnel broke open the shutter of the shop.

No loss of life was reported but bakery products, refrigerators and other items in the shop were destroyed in the blaze, officials said, adding the cause of the fire is yet to be 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).
