A local court has imposed a fine of Rs 53,800 on the owner of a vehicle, which was involved in 269 traffic violations. The court has impounded the vehicle till any person, with a valid driving licence, appears before the court on his behalf and moves an application for release of the vehicle.

The violator has been asked to do 15-day community service at a traffic signal. He is supposed to ensure that traffic rules are followed by the public at the signal.

Of the total challans, 253 were issued for dangerous driving/red light jumping, 14 for overstepping road markings and two for riding a two-wheeler without helmet.

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).
