Come 2025, only buses meeting international safety standards will be permitted, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said at the FICCI Road Safety Awards and Conclave 2024 in New Delhi.

The transition aims to improve the safety standards of public transportation significantly.

This decision addresses the current practice of manufacturing buses using rudimentary methods, often involving hammers, wooden planks, and aluminium sheets. The minister also revealed plans for a new “ambulance code” to improve emergency response services.

The new “ambulance code” will mandate that ambulances be equipped with cutting tools essential for extracting accident victims from vehicles.

Currently, ambulances often lack these tools, leading to delays of up to three hours in rescuing trapped victims.

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).
