A fire broke out at the grain market of Sikri village here on Friday. The fire reduced shanties to ashes.

The fire destroyed all their goods and money kept in the jhuggies. Within no time flames engulfed the shanties. People tried to bring the fire under control, before the fire brigade people reach there.

Hutments of Ramji, Ramavatar, Babita, Loha Singh, Pradeep, Chhotu Ram, Savitri, Saravan, Prabhu Diyal, Aarti, Pramod and about 17 families were destroyed in the fire, who had come from Bihar and other states to earn their livelihood.

The victims of the fire told that all their cash and goods were destroyed in the fire.

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).
