The Punjab Vigilance Bureau today nominated Regional Transport Officer (RTO) Mohali, Pradeep Singh Dhillon, in a graft case following the state government's sanction to proceed under Section 17(A) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The permission was granted by Chief Secretary KAP Sinha, enabling action against the officer.

The nomination follows the arrest of a private individual, Sukhwinder Singh, from Mohali, who was allegedly accepting bribes in exchange for clearing driving tests at the local RTA centre.

The development is part of a broader crackdown by the Vigilance Bureau on corruption within transport offices.

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).
