Chandigarh, March 19

As many as 270 on-the-spot challans were issued for traffic violations here on Holi. Eightyfive persons were challaned for riding without helmet and seven for triple riding. Twentythree vehicles were impounded.

Special nakas were also held for e-surveillance and enforcement. Speed-radar teams were also deployed at various places to keep an eye on speed-limit violators.

Drunk drivers were handed over to the local police for a medical examination. As many as 24 special nakas were set up at prominent locations in the city to curb rash and drunken driving. Around 350 traffic police officials were deployed for special traffic arrangements under the supervision of the SSP (Traffic) and DSPs. —

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).
