The traffic police today permanently closed an illegal route connecting Sector 7 to Manimajra. The team sealed the passage by welding iron rods on the site and affixing reflector tape to the metal barriers to ensure clear visibility, especially at night.

ACP, Traffic, Surender Singh said the pathway was originally created for pedestrians travelling from Sector 7 towards Manimajra, but had for a long time been misused by motorcyclists. This not only disrupted traffic flow but also created significant safety concerns, prompting immediate corrective action.

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).
