Chatra (Jharkhand), April 19

A massive fire broke out at NTPC’s North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Plant in Jharkhand’s Chatra district on Friday, officials said.

No casualty has so far been reported in the incident, they said.

The fire was first spotted around 2 pm.

“The fire broke out at the BHEL material yard located behind unit 3 of the North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project,” a senior BHEL official said.

Many people living in the vicinity of the powe plant complained of breathing problems even as several fire tenders were pressed into service.

The root cause of the fire is being investigated, he said.

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).
