A fire erupts at the plant of Morepen Labs Private Ltd in Parwanoo.

Two fire engines with 14 firemen were pressed into service to douse the blaze that started from the lift and spread to nearby areas. The blaze was controlled by 11 am due to timely action by firefighters.

The firefighters broke the glasses installed in the lift, which took sometime, said Santosh Sharma, Commandant, Home Guards, Solan. He added that the fire was controlled by 11 am though smoke that was billowing from some parts of the building took some more time to subside.

Meanwhile, the company management said that it was a small fire that was controlled before it could spread to other key areas.

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).
