Jalandhar, August 4

Two buses of PUNBUS, which were parked in Punjab Roadways workshop No. 2 here, caught fire this afternoon.

While initially one bus caught fire, the second one parked just next to it also got burnt within minutes. As the roadways employees saw this, they immediately alerted the fire services. The fire brigade reached the spot and controlled the fire.

The entire body of the buses got burnt in the fire.

Officials of the roadways said a short circuit apparently triggered the blaze. “But we shall surely get it investigated by our technical teams for a final assessment,” said an officer.

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).
