Abohar, June 3

A sudden fire broke out in an old-age home-cum-orphanage located in the local Nai Abadi area today afternoon triggering a stampede among the inmates. As soon as the information was received, the fire brigade reached the spot and controlled the fire. None was harmed.

Rajat Luthra, the in-charge of “Samarth and Udbhav Awas”, said the fire broke out suddenly in the control board of the electricity meter installed near the entrance of the ashram. Luthra said that the fire was controlled in time and there was no major loss. The electricity system of the ashram will be mended soon.

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).
