Twenty-two people were killed in a restaurant fire in Liaoyang city in China’s Liaoning province on Tuesday.

The fire broke out at 12:25 pm, killing 22 people and injuring three others, the State-run Xinhua news agency reported.

There was no word on the cause of the fire.

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged all-out efforts to treat those injured, the report said.

This is the second major fire incident in China this month.

On April 9, 20 elderly people were killed in a fire at a nursing home in north China’s Hebei province.

A total of 39 elderly people were in the building when the blaze broke out at the nursing home in Longhua county of Chengde city.

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).
