Noida, April 26

A major fire broke out at a paper-manufacturing factory in Uttar Pradesh’s Greater Noida on Tuesday, officials said.

Over a dozen fire tenders were rushed to the factory located in the Badalpur area and the blaze was confined to one portion of the building, they said.

“The incident was reported around 10 am. Over a dozen fire tenders are at the spot and help has been requested from adjoining Ghaziabad and Bulandshahr districts,” Chief Fire Officer Arun Kumar Singh said.

“After two-and-a-half hours, the firefighters were able to limit the blaze in one portion of the building, preventing it from engulfing the entire factory. Efforts are on to completely douse the flames,” Singh said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries to any person.

The cause of the fire and the damage caused by it are yet to be ascertained, the officials said.

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).
