Solan, April 6

A major fire broke out at the HP Horticulture Produce Marketing & Processing Corporation’s (HPMC) plant at Parwanoo around 11.30 am today, resulting in a loss worth lakhs of rupees.

Two fire tenders were pressed into action to douse the flames that spread within no time in the open yard as a large number of cartons were kept there.

Plumes of smoke were seen rising from the yard as firemen tried hard to control the fire. The plant was reportedly undergoing renovation and the fire department staff managed to save property worth Rs 5 crore, officials said.

Parwanoo DSP Pranav Chauhan said the HPMC staff did not inform them about the fire.

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).
