A fire broke out at Axis Bank situated in main market on Monday at 6 pm. Short circuit was stated to be a reason behind the incident. Employees of the bank tried to control the flames with the help of a fire extinguisher.

Navroop Singh, a security guard, immediately informed the BBMB Fire Department, which rushed to the spot. It took firefighters more than one hour to douse the flames. Vivek Kumar, manager of the bank, said electrical equipment got damaged and currency notes were safe.

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).
