A fire accident during a Theyyam performance at a temple near Neeleswaram late last night left 154 people injured — eight of them seriously — when firecrackers stored in the vicinity exploded, the police said on Tuesday.

Kasaragod police chief D Shilpa announced the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the fire accident. The district administration said that the additional divisional magistrate had been directed to carry out an inquiry separately into the incident and submit a report. The incident happened at Anjoottanbalam Veererkavu Temple near Neeleswaram in the northernmost district of Kerala.

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).
