Chandigarh, May 26

The UT Administration has decided to start the construction of the Automated Inspection and Certification Centre (AICC) at Raipur Kalan within a month.

It will have a training centre for drivers and will also be used to give fitness certificates to commercial goods vehicles, school and public transport buses and taxis registered in the city.

Sensor-enabled machines will inspect and test the road worthiness of vehicles. The centre will test the vehicle on 24 parameters, including parts and fixtures such as brakes, steering, suspension, emissions, electrical systems and general condition as mentioned in the Motor Vehicles Act.

An official of the STA said a vehicle could be denied authorisation to ply on the road if it failed to clear the mandatory checks. — TNS

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).
