Chandigarh, May 4

The North-Western Railway today issued a notification on reducing the frequency of some special trains. The decision will also impact Daulatpur Chowk – Jaipur Intercity Express, which halts at the Chandigarh railway station.

Instead of making a daily halt, the train will now stop in the city only thrice in a week on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.

“The train was anyway running on low occupancy. About 150 sleeper-class seats of the train, while coming from Jaipur, were vacant. The same was the case with non-AC seats too,” said JP Singh, superintendent, Chandigarh railway station.

The train arrives in Chandigarh from Jaipur at 7:30 am and halts for 15 minutes. From Daulatpur Chowk, it arrives in Chandigarh at 6:50 pm and stops for 20 minutes.

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).
