A 10-year-old student died and six others sustained injuries in a fire incident at Tral in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on Sunday, officials said.

The fire — which broke out in Hamdan Daarul Uloom at Tral — was doused by fire and emergency services personnel. The officials said Yasir Ahmad Gaggi died due to asphyxiation while six others were injured. The officials said the injured have been referred to a hospital here for treatment.

The cause of the fire is being ascertained, they 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).
