Shimla, June 5

A bus was gutted and two mechanics suffered burn injuries when a fire broke out at the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) depot at Tara Devi this evening.

“The injured mechanics were rushed to the IGMC-Shimla. One was discharged after he was given the first-aid. The other is still in the hospital but his injureis are not serious,” said Regional Manager Pankaj Thakur.

The fire broke out around 4:30 pm and was brought under control within half-an hour.

“We suspect the fire broke out because of a short-circuit, but the exact cause will be determined only after an inquiry,” he said.

Incidentally, the Dhalli workshop had also caught fire some time back in which one bus was gutted.

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).
