A major fire broke out at a rubber scrap warehouse near Lamma Pind Chowk late last night, engulfing the entire premises. Firefighters battled the blaze for more than seven hours before finally bringing it under control.

According to fire brigade officials, the fire was contained around 3:30 am after 12 fire tenders were pressed to the site. “The moment we received information about the fire, our teams immediately rushed to the spot and began working,” said an official from the fire department.

The Chhath Puja celebration was also taking place nearby when the fire erupted, sparking concern among locals.

The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined.

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).
