Chandigarh, August 22

Traffic jams were witnessed in and around Tribune Chowk here on Tuesday evening. Commuters experienced delays of 20 to 25 minutes while covering a stretch of less than a kilometer.

Ravi Kumar, a resident of Zirakpur en route to Chandigarh, mentioned a 25-minute travel time between the Poultry Farm roundabout and Tribune Chowk. Long queues of vehicles were observed on all roads leading to Tribune Chowk, extending as far as the GMCH-32 rotary.

Even two-wheeler riders were stuck in snarl-ups.

The traffic police managed the situation by manually regulating the traffic flow. A traffic cop on duty attributed the congestion to a substantial influx of vehicles.

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).
