Keeping in mind the safety of passengers, the UT Administration has directed all the auto-rickshaw and e-rickshaw operators to affix acrylic or plastic transparent sheet only.

It has been observed that the auto-rickshaw and e-rickshaw operators have affixed black sheets or curtains in their vehicles in order to save themselves and passengers from rain or cold weather. Such curtains are not permissible in law.

As per Rule 100 of the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989, in case of three-wheelers and vehicles with hood and side covers the windows may be of acrylic or plastic transparent sheet. The administration said the exercise should complete by February 28, failing which the autos and e-rickshaws will be challaned or impounded as per rules.

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).
