New Delhi, June 15

A Parliamentary Committee report on Commission of Railway Safety (CRS), submitted to Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu, noted that only 8-10 per cent of accidents were enquired by the CRS, while the rest of the accidents were enquired by Railways itself and in such cases the reports were not referred to CRS.

While timeframe exists for CRS to submit reports of its investigation into accidents (30 days for preliminary report and 180 days for final report), no timeframe has been fixed for MoR to submit its Action Taken Reports (ATR).

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).
