One person was killed and five others were injured in a boiler blast here in Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati district, a police official said on Thursday.

Tirupati Superintendent of Police L. Subba Rayudu said the blast occurred late on Wednesday night at MS Agarwal company that melts sponge iron to make iron balls.

“One person died, another is seriously injured and four more suffered simple injuries,” Subba Rayudu told PTI, adding that the industrial safety committee will determine the exact reasons for the blast.

All the injured persons are undergoing treatment and a case is being registered.

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).
