Haryana, October 17

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday said the state would have District Transport Officers (DTOs) instead of Regional Transport Authority (RTA) officers.

He said dedicated officers are to be posted in each district.

At present, it is headed by Assistant District Commissioners (ADCs).

Addressing a press conference, Khattar said inspectors were instructed to wear body cameras whenever they go for checking.

He said Haryana would also introduce portable automated weighing scales and automated weighing scales to check the overload, and if this was successful, the state would try to install this on every road and every naka. They have already bought 45 scales.

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).
