A gas cylinder exploded around 4:30 am on Wednesday in Tikam Ram's house in village Pat, Kashapat Patwar Circle, causing a massive fire. Two individuals, Dinanath (son of Kishori Lal) and Ravi (son of Prakash Chand), sustained severe burn injuries. They were initially taken to Mahatma Gandhi Medical Complex and later referred to Shimla for advanced treatment. The local administration provided immediate financial assistance of Rs 10,000 to the affected family. Eyewitnesses described the explosion as powerful, spreading panic in the village.

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).
