Chandigarh, August 4

The Ambala Division of the Northern Railways has earned revenue of Rs3.31crore from ticket checking in July this year.

A total of 794 checks were conducted during the month across the division and about 61,000 cases of irregular travel came to the fore during checking.

An amount of Rs3.31 crore was recovered from offenders. To ensure Covid norms, 794 people were fined for traveling without a mask.

A special emphasis has been laid to curb the menace of littering among the general public to make railway stations clean. For the purpose, regular checks are conducted over the main stations of the division. “As a result, 212 passengers were apprehended under the Anti-Littering Act and Rs41,120 recovered from them,” said Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Hari Mohan.

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).
