Shimla, August 18

A major fire broke out late last night at the Civil Supply Building at Kalbog in Kotkhai subdivision of Shimla district. Around 65-70 LPG cylinders were housed in the building at the time of the fire.

“It took the fire tenders about three hours to douse the flames,” said SDM Kotkhai, Chetna. He added that the amount of loss to the property and cause of fire is yet to be ascertained. However, no casualty was reported.

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).
