Patiala, May 7

A high drama was witnessed when a traffic police official and Pepsu Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) employees reportedly exchanged blows on Friday night.

The video of the incident is making rounds on social media. It has been learnt that a traffic cop — who was on duty near Lakkar Mandi intersection on the Patiala-Rajpura road — reportedly asked the PRTC bus driver to take diversion to avoid a traffic jam.

However, the PRTC driver allegedly didn’t pay much heed to the directions of the traffic cop that turned into a heated argument. Thereafter, the traffic cop and the PRTC employees exchanged blows. In the incident, turban of the traffic cop was also tossed up in the air. Station House Officer, Lahori Gate, said a settlement had been reached between both the parties.

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).
