A fire broke out at a firecracker stall in the Bhangi Choe area here on Saturday evening. No one was injured in the incident, police said.

The Bhangi Choe area is an officially designated spot for sale of firecrackers.

The blaze occurred when repair of electric wires at the place led to sparks, which fell on firecrackers, they said.

Station House Officer (City) Sub-Inspector Kiran Singh said a fire tender, already deployed at the spot as a precaution, promptly brought the fire under control, averting a major mishap.

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).
