Chandigarh, July 10

An SUV sped away after hitting an ASI when the driver was signalled to stop for a traffic violation at the Furniture Market Chowk.

According to the police, the complainant, ASI Paramjit Singh, along with other police personnel, was on duty when they saw an SUV coming from the Sector 41/42 road. The complainant said volunteer Harpreet signalled the driver to stop because the woman on the passenger seat was not wearing the seat belt.

He alleged that instead of stopping, the driver sped away after hitting the ASI, who was standing on the Sector 54 road. He sustained injuries and was rushed to the Government Multi-Speciality Hospital, Sector 16.

The cops managed to note down the number of the SUV.

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).
