A major fire broke out today at a textile processing facility in Focal Point, Phase 8. The fire, which erupted on the first floor of the dyeing unit, was successfully contained by the Fire Department, preventing it from extending beyond the immediate area.

Six fire tenders were used to tackle the intensive flames. Fortunately, no injuries or casualties were reported during the incident.

As per the firefighters, a large stock of garments was stored on the first floor and that acted as a highly combustible source. It took the firemen over two hours to bring the situation under full control.

Sources said that the emergency call for the fire at “Rajindra Dyeing” was received at approximately 10.05 AM at fire control room. Six fire tenders were immediately dispatched to the site.

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).
