The National Lok Adalat will be held at the District Courts Panchkula and the Kalka Sub-Division courts on December 14.

Ajay Kumar Ghanghas, Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) and Secretary, District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Panchkula, said the Lok Adalat would primarily focus on resolution of online traffic challans, impounded vehicles and drunken driving cases among others. Ghanghas emphasised that the fine to be imposed on violators would be significantly lower than the penalty charged at traffic challaning branches.

He said help desks had been set up at strategic locations, including the Deputy Commissioner’s Office Secretariat, SBI Bank, Sector 8, Traffic Challaning Branch, Sector 12, and the District Courts Complex, to guide people in accessing benefits offered by the Lok Adalat.

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).
