A minor fire broke out in an empty train coach here on Sunday, which was quickly doused by the Waltair Railway Division personnel, an official said.

A fire broke out on coach B-7 of Bastar Express around 10 am, when it was set aside for cleaning in the Visakhapatnam station yard, the official added.

“The minor incident which occurred in a single coach was immediately controlled,” the official told PTI, adding that it was an empty rake.

Further, he said that no other coach was affected.

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).
