Nearly three dozen shops were burned down on Monday in a fire in the famous Garjiya temple complex in Ramnagar here, police said.

There is no report of any loss of life in the incident, they said, adding that the fire broke out at a shop selling ‘prasad’ as hawkers were preparing for the Navratras starting Tuesday.

It soon spread to around 35 adjacent shops and reduced them to ashes, Ramnagar Station House Officer (SHO) Arun Kumar said.

The shops were made of thatch and the fire spread quickly, he said.

It took local people and fire department personnel hours to douse the flames, he 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).
