Chandigarh, May 17

The Chandigarh Administration has fixed rates of private ambulance drivers or service providers to prevent any overcharging from the citizens for transporting the patients within and outside the city.

According to an order issued by District Magistrate Mandip Singh Brar, rates of hiring of ambulance will be as follows:

Any breach of this order shall invite action as per law, which may include cancellation of the driving licence of the ambulance driver, cancellation of the registration certificate of ambulance, impounding of the vehicle/ambulance, imposition of a penalty starting from minimum of Rs 50,000 in case of non-compliance of instructions.

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).
