Abohar, April 23

Furniture and other household goods were gutted when a fire broke out today in the house of a woman in Usmankhera village, about 33 km from here. People present nearby doused the fire with a lot of effort. Short circuit is suspected to be the cause of fire.

Chhindo Bai said that she had drawn Rs 15,000 from the bank account yesterday and kept the same in a box. When she was indulged in some domestic work in the house today, she saw smoke coming out of the room. By that time, the fire had spread a lot, she added. As she called for help, people gathered around her house and brought the fire under control by pouring sand and water.

Only the woman and her son live in the house and there is nobody else to support them, the villagers 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).
