Chandigarh, July 20

Haryana Principal Secretary, Transport Department, Navdeep Virk, today urged all principals of colleges and institutions to establish Road Safety Knowledge Centre and Drivers’ Skill Centre on the premises of every college and university in the state.

He said the Haryana Government was using 50 per cent of the challan amount received from erring traffic violators in Haryana. Virk was inaugurating a webinar series on “Role of youth to make accident-free Haryana” with the collaboration of the Education Department today. Virk said in order to create awareness on traffic rules, the state police was regularly organising a series of annual quiz competitions on road safety for the students of all age groups. This initiative got listed in the Limca Book of Records as a world record.

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).
