A major fire broke out at Sarasvati Vidya Mandir in Vikasnagar, Shimla, during the early hours of Sunday, damaging several school records, furniture, and a few rooms. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.

The blaze started on the top floor and quickly spread, creating massive flames. Local residents noticed the fire and rushed to the spot, informing the fire department and helping to douse the flames. Firefighters managed to bring the situation under control.

District administration officials stated that the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage are currently under investigation.

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).
