Faridabad, April 24

During a special drive, the Faridabad police issued 437 challans for underage driving and overspeeding in the city in the last 24 hours.

According to a police official, 132 drivers were challaned for underage driving and 305 challans were issued for not adhering to the speed limit. A total penalty of Rs 12.70 lakh was imposed for violations recorded today, he added.

Underage driving attracts a penalty of Rs 5,000 while those caught overspeeding are fined Rs 2,000. The official said the majority of the underage drivers caught in the net were students using two-wheelers to go to school. The drive against the violation of traffic rules will continue for an indefinite period, he claimed.

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).
