The traffic police here have issued penalties to 369 trucks over the past 48 hours for violating the ban on heavy vehicle entry during prescribed time limits in the city.

A police spokesperson said officers have started issuing challans to vehicles that fail to comply with the ban, which restricts the entry of heavy vehicles from 7 am to 10 am and between 5 pm and 11 pm daily. This measure is aimed at addressing traffic congestion and jams during peak hours, when vehicle movement is at its highest.

It was revealed that 292 vehicles were penalised on Thursday, and another 77 were challaned on Friday. The drive would continue indefinitely as part of efforts to alleviate the city’s ongoing traffic issues. The ban was implemented on December 5.

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).
