Chandigarh, July 7

To check traffic violations, especially red light jumping, during late night and early morning hours, the UT police have started laying nakas to catch offenders.

DSP Traffic (Administration) Palak Goyal said the focus would be on traffic offences, including red light jumping, dangerous driving, drunken driving, etc.

“To check drunken driving, we won’t use alcometer. The suspected driver will be asked to go under medical examination,” the DSP added.

The city had recently witnessed accidents during wee hours in which precious lives were lost. The police said such nakas would help in preventing road accidents, especially due to rash driving.

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).
