Chandigarh, November 10

The UT Administration has allowed free travel facility to those with physical disabilities in Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU) buses in the tricity.

According to an order issued by the administration, those with hearing and speech disabilities, HIV-AIDS infection, differently abled, mentally challenged, blind and thalassemia children along with an attendant can travel in AC and non-AC CTU buses in the tricity (MC limit) free of cost. Such individuals must carry an ID issued by the competent authority UT or a Unique Disability ID.

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).
