Solan, December 27

In the wake of repeated road accidents, a campaign has been initiated by the Paonta Sahib police against overspeeding. Launched a fortnight ago, as many as 147 vehicles have been challaned and penalty of Rs 2,32,500 realised.

“A campaign against vehicles being driven without number plates as assessed in the past few theft and snaching incidents has also been initiated,” added Thakur.

Analysis of accident data revealed that maximum accident occur due to wrong parking and entry in wrong lane.

An awareness drive has also been initiated on the weekends where people are being advised not to drive on wrong side followed by penalty for repeated mistakes.

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).
