The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has proposed a set of new rules to ensure the safety of children aged four years or less riding pillion on a motorcycle. A draft notification proposes the vehicle speed shall not be more than 40 kmph and the motorcyclist must ensure the child wears a crash helmet. It also proposed the use of safety harness by the motorcycle driver for carrying a child. — TNS

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).
