In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to save fuel, the UT Administration has decided to observe a vehicle-free day every Wednesday. The administration has made special arrangements to operate buses for the UT Secretariat staff tomorrow.

According to officials, the buses will operate on 17 routes to ferry the employees to and fro. The buses will also carry employees of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and Punjab Civil Secretariat.

UT Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria had recently asked UT officials to avoid using four-wheelers every Wednesday.

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).
