Chandigarh, February 25

The State Transport Authority (STA) has directed the owners or drivers of cabs to deposit the pending dues.

An official spokesperson said during a drive conducted by the enforcement staff of the STA, it came to light that cabs registered in Punjab and Haryana that were plying in Chandigarh carrying “All India Tourist Permit” and were attached with Ola and Uber (aggregator companies) had not deposited the entry fee of Rs1,000 per quarter as per the Aggregator Rules-2017, which was causing a loss of revenue to the UT Administration.

The owners or drivers of the cabs have been directed to deposit the pending dues in the office of Secretary, STA. —

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).
