Chandigarh, March 22

To check frequent thefts of equipment from EV charging stations, the UT Chandigarh Renewable Energy Science and Technology Promotion Society (CREST), the nodal agency for implementation of the Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy, has asked the firms to make arrangements for regular monitoring of stations.

An official of CREST said the companies that set up the EV charging stations had been asked to install CCTV cameras and hire security guards to stop theft of costly parts of the charging stations.

At the same time, a letter has also been sent to the Chandigarh Police to take action in this regard.

Earlier, thieves had stolen cables from solar power plants in different sectors. Recently, they had targeted EV charging stations.

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).
