A traffic cop issues a challan to a violator in Gurugram.

Acting tough against those driving in wrong lane, the Gurugram traffic police registered 44 FIRs against violators under a special drive, “lane driving is safe driving”, from December 12-19. The cases were registered under Section 285 of the BNS.

This year alone, cops issued over 58,000 challans to lane violators and collected a fine of over Rs 5.97 crore from them. Cases were registered against 108 violators.

A senior traffic police official said road markings were often made to separate lanes, but some drivers still violate the rules. Lane violations are mostly observed on NH-48, Gurugram-Faridabad road and Gurugram-Sohna road. He said the aim of the Gurugram traffic police was to make city roads safe.

“To prevent accidents, awareness campaigns are conducted regularly for truck drivers, company drivers and bus drivers. Such drives will continue in future also,” said Virender Vij, DCP Traffic.

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).
