A car was completely destroyed in a fire caused by a malfunctioning heater, but the owner had a narrow escape. The incident occurred as the car was enroute from

Rajanwali village to Sriganganagar.

Bhanu Pratap Singh of Sriganganagar shared that his brother, Sandeep, had travelled to Bathinda for work the previous day. After staying at a friend’s house in Rajanwali, he was heading back home to Sriganganagar late

at night.

While nearing Sherewala village, Sandeep noticed a burning sensation inside the car due to the heater running for an extended period. He quickly exited the vehicle, and moments later, a loud sound, similar to firecrackers, erupted. Within seconds, the car was engulfed in flames and reduced to ashes. Sandeep managed to escape without injury.

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).
