A couple was safely rescued after their car got stuck in an automobile lift at a highrise in Maharashtra’s Thane city, an official said on Sunday.

The four-wheeler got trapped in the three-tier car lift of a 20-storey building in the Shastri Nagar area at 10.48 pm on Saturday, the official said.

Local firefighters and the regional disaster management cell (RDMC) rescued the duo in under 30 minutes. However, the exact cause of the lift malfunction has yet to be determined, said Yasin Tadvi, chief of the civic disaster management cell.

No one was injured in the incident, he said.

The official said the building is a 20-story structure with a stilt, three floors dedicated to a mechanical car park, and 13 residential floors.

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).
