Chandigarh, December 17

To prevent congestion and accidents due to sharp cuts and merging roads, ‘traffic circles’ are being set up at minor junctions by the Chandigarh Traffic Police.

To start with, traffic circles have been set up in the Industrial Area and Sector 17. The police said more such circles would be set up soon.

Their main purpose would be to ease commuting between sectors. These circles would be helpful in facilitating smooth flow of traffic and would be a temporary measure till small permanent rotaries are constructed. — TNS

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).
