Due to a protest by truck operators at Shambhu, police have diverted traffic at many places.

The truck operators are demanding that the government reinstate truck unions across Punjab.

Joined by some local unions, hundreds of trucks have blocked the national highway near Shambhu demanding that truck unions be allowed to operate.

 “We have made some diversions to help commuters. Long jams have been witnessed at a few places. The traffic coming from Amritsar and Delhi side has been diverted through Zirakpur leading to chaos at certain places,” said Ghanaur DSP Raghbir Singh.

Truck union members claim that they have been suffering losses for years, especially during coronavirus days; therefore, unions be allowed to run.

Sources say some unions have already been operating illegally in many subdivisions of Punjab.

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).
