Chandigarh, September 17

Over illegal plying of private taxis in the city, the State Transport Department (STA) has clarified that only Ola and Uber companies have got the aggregator licence to operate in the city.

Harjeet Singh Sandhu, Secretary, STA, stated that except Ola and Uber, no other cabs had got themselves registered with the STA and had obtained licence for plying their cabs in the UT.

Sandhu further said the owners of cabs, who had attached their vehicles with such companies, were advised to detach from them, failing which the sole responsibility regarding challaning or impounding would rest upon the owner of the cab.

He also advised the general public not to travel in such cabs in order to avoid any mishap or incident in the future.

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).
