A non-local civilian died in a fire incident inside the Badamibagh Army cantonment here on Saturday, officials said.

The fire broke out in a civil canteen at the cantonment, resulting in damage to the structure, the officials said.

They said a civil contractor, identified as Rajesh Kumar from Haryana, received burn injuries in the incident.

He was shifted to the Army's 92 base hospital nearby, where he was declared dead, the officials said.

The fire has been brought under control, 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).
