Ludhiana, August 21

As the deadline of making awareness regarding the Motor Vehicle (Amendment) Act, which was supposed to be implemented from August 1, ended on August 20, the Ludhiana traffic police today carried out a drive and acted strictly against underage drivers.

As many as 21 underage drivers were challaned today by the traffic police. Special nakas were set up by traffic police at various strategic points in the city. Traffic police officials said they drive would continue in the coming days and underage drivers would not be spared.

Notably, the traffic police had also clarified that students using battery-operated vehicles did not require a driving licence and after obtaining permission from the RTA, they could go to schools. But if they drive carelessly, action would be taken against them.

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).
