Ludhiana, November 15

A major fire broke out in two hosiery waste godowns at Mayapuri street number 2 here on Tuesday morning.

As the godowns are situated in a residential area, the residents panicked.

Hosiery waste worth lakhs was gutted. A car and two motorcycles were also gutted.

According to sources, two brothers owned two godowns while another was owned by another man.

Most of the people living in this area hailed from Saharanpur and are into the business of hosiery waste. Majority of the households had converted their residences into small godowns.

After the incident, the godowns adjoining the affected building as well as nearby residences were were vacated by the owners.

Firemen faced a tough time in dousing the flames.

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).
