A fire broke out in the transport wing of Tourism Office and a workshop at the Ghora Chowki locality in Shimla on Thursday evening. After the building caught fire, it was noticed by passersby who immediately informed the police and Fire Department.

Fire tenders and police personnel rushed to the spot to extinguish the flames, and the operation is currently underway. District administration officials have stated that the cause of the fire is being investigated and efforts are being made to put out the fire as soon as possible.

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).
