Chandigarh, June 29

The traffic police have issued challans after a video of youths hanging out of windows, sitting on the roof and the bonnets of SUVs went viral. The police officials claimed that the driving licences of the youths had been confiscated.

In the 18-second footage of a vehicle rally, including SUVs of Chandigarh and Punjab numbers, taken out along Dakshin Marg, youths are seen hanging out of windows, sitting on roofs and bonnets, in clear violation of traffic rules.

Allegedly posted on Instagram, the video caught the attention of someone, who reported the matter to the police. Cops said three vehicles had been issued challans for three offences – carrying a person on bonnet, changing lanes without signal and dangerous driving.

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).
