Kolkata, June 14

A major fire broke out at Acropolis Mall in Kolkata, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.

Multiple fire tenders have been dispatched to the scene as firefighters work tirelessly to bring the blaze under control.

Visuals from the site show firefighters arriving swiftly, breaking through the mall’s large glass panels on the outer facade to fight the fire and rescue individuals trapped inside. The situation is still developing, and a rescue operation may be under way.

Details are awaited.

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).
