Hong Kong authorities on Monday said the death toll from a deadly apartment complex blaze has risen to 151 after more bodies were found.

Tsang Shuk-yin, the head of Hong Kong police's casualty enquiry unit, told reporters at the scene that teams had located another five bodies during searches throughout the day. They also recovered the bodies of three people who had already been found by firefighters but could not immediately be retrieved.

The blaze broke out on Wednesday in the complex on the outskirts of Hong Kong and wasn't completely extinguished until Friday morning.

Tsang said 104 people are still unaccounted for.

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).
