The driver of a car had a narrow escape when his vehicle caught fire in Tungri village of Himachal's Bilaspur district on Wednesday, according to police.

The car was completely burnt in this incident. Fortunately, the driver got out safely in time, they said.

The incident occurred when the car was heading to Jhandutta from Bilaspur. Suddenly, smoke started coming out of the engine of the car near Tungdi village.

The driver immediately stopped the car and as soon as he stepped out, the vehicle started burning. Local people immediately informed the fire department, but by the time the fire brigade reached the spot, the car was completely burnt.

The police have registered a case of fire accident and further investigations are underway, officials said.

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).
