Mohali, April 22

The Kharar Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) today challaned 14 school buses for various violations.

SDM Avikesh Gupta said the buses did not have CCTV cameras, speed governors, fire extinguishers and first aid boxes. He said these buses also did not have proper documents, including fitness certificate, pollution certificate, permit and driving licence. The vehicles lacked GPS system, arrangement of drinking water and female staff while the drivers were not in uniform.

Gupta said as per the government policy, the safety of children was the prime concern of the educational institution and to ensure the same, the school had to form a committee for monitoring the buses plying on different routes. —

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).
