Phagwara, December 3

Five occupants of an Alto car had a narrow escape when their car bearing the registration number PB-08BH-1763 in which they were coming from Banga suddenly caught fire. The fire brigade reached the spot and brought the flames under control.

Car owner Sarabjit Singh said he was returning to the coach factory at Kapurthala after doing his work at Banga railway station. When he reached near Phagwara, smoke started coming out from inside the car.

There were five passengers who were rescued but the vehicle was badly damaged. According to fire brigade officials, the fire appeared to have started because of a battery malfunction.

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).
