Shimla, May 6

A bakery shop was gutted by fire at Lakkar Bazaar in the city on Saturday. However, no casualty was reported in the incident. It took fire engines about an hour to douse the fire but the shop was completely damaged by that time.

Tripti, a famous bakery shop, situated at Lakkar Bazaar was locked when the fire broke out there in early morning hours. Local residents raised the alarm on seeing the smoke billowing out of the shop. Firefighters were called who controlled the blaze.

An electric short-circuit is said to be the reason behind the incident. Goods and other things worth several lakhs of rupees were destroyed.

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).
