A Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) bus bound for Delhi from Sandhole in Mandi district caught fire near Nangal dam, authorities said on Tuesday. No one was hurt.

The incident happened Monday night with the tyres of the bus catching fire.

According to officials, as the bus reached Nangal Dam, passengers detected smoke coming out of the tyres and raised an alarm.

Bus driver Salim Muhammad stopped the vehicle immediately and rushed the passengers out.

People then informed the fire office at the National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) building.

Though the fire was brought under control, its cause was yet not known.

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).
