Panic spread on Dera Bassi-Mubarikpur road this evening when an underground PNG pipeline caught fire near a filling station around 6.45 pm. Two fire tenders were rushed to the spot to control the blaze.

The underground PNG pipeline, installed a year ago, supplies gas to Patiala, Dera Bassi, Chandigarh and Mohali areas.

Officials said the fire broke out after an earthmover damaged the pipeline during excavation work. The gas valve was closed in time to prevent any untoward incident and the supply was restored in three hours.

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).
