Shimla, March 29

A huge wooden house was gutted last evening in Breshtu village of Sharontha gram panchayat in the Rohru subdivision of Shimla district. Seven families residing in the house, which had 35-40 rooms, have been left homeless by the fire incident.

“Though there is no loss of life in the incident, the loss of property and goods is huge,” said gram pradhan Usha Chauhan. The families of Daya Nanad Sharma, Anjana Sharma, Mohan Sharma, Suresh Sharma, Ram Gopal Sharma, Pushpa Sharma and Yashwant Sharma lived in the house.

According to Chauhan, the fire broke out last evening around 5 pm. “The fire started in the wooden portion of the house and it engulfed the entire house in no time. The families could not take out any valuables from the house,” she said. The local administration provided immediate relief to the affected families.

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).
