A major accident was averted between Goraya and Phagwara when the Jaipur-Ajmer train, number 19611, running from Ludhiana to Jalandhar, suddenly encountered a fire in S4 coach on Sunday.

The incident was reported to Station Master, Mauli, Sandeep Kumar, who informed Pointsman Deepak Roy.

Upon stopping, the railway staff swiftly extinguished the fire. Passengers in the S4 coach experienced a wave of panic as news of the fire spread, but fortunately no injuries were reported. After a delay of about an hour, the train resumed its journey safely.

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).
