At least eight houses were damaged in a fire in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla town, officials said on Tuesday.

The fire broke out in one of the houses in the congested residential area of Jalal Sahib in the Old Baramulla town on Monday night and quickly spread to the adjoining houses, the officials said.

Fire tenders assisted by locals, police and Army personnel helped in putting out the blaze, they said.

One person sustained minor injuries in the firefighting operation, the officials said, adding that the cause of the fire was not immediately known.

While property worth crores of rupees perished in the blaze, the exact quantum of damage will be ascertained later, the officials 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).
