New Delhi, June 1

A fire broke out on Monday in central Delhi’s Nirman Bhawan building that houses several government offices. No injuries were reported so far.

Fire tenders were rushed to the spot. A fire official told IANS: “A call was received from fourth floor of Nirman Bhawan, following which five tenders have been rushed to the spot.”

The call was received at 9.01 am. The reason behind the fire is yet to be ascertained.

The Nirman Bhawan houses several central ministry offices, including the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Health Ministry and others.

Last week, in a major fire, about 250 shanties were gutted in southeast Delhi’s Tughlaqabad area. No one was injured in the incident.

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).
