Rangareddy, June 28

At least five persons were killed and 15 injured in a blast at a glass factory in the Shadnagar area of Rangareddy district on Friday, the police said.

According to the police, “A fire broke out in a glass manufacturing company at Burgul, Shadnagar, after an explosion. Our primary information is that five persons are dead.” The Shamshabad DCP said gas pressure in the compressor furnace caused the explosion, resulting in a massive fire.

“In the incident, five persons died and 15 were critically injured. All injured were shifted to a local hospital. The police, fire brigade and other officials are on the spot,” he said. “A case is being registered and probe is on,” the DCP added.

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).
