Chandigarh, January 1

No one was caught while driving under the influence of liquor on the New Year’s Eve by the UT traffic police.

DSP Charanjit Singh Virk, spokesperson, Chandigarh Police, said traffic nakas were laid in different parts of the city, including Sector 26 and 35, to keep a watch on traffic violators.

“Although arrangements were made to check drunken driving, nobody was found driving under the influence of liquor. Those suspected of driving under the influence of liquor are asked to get their blood test done,” the DSP said. — 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).
