Chandigarh, May 9

Putting former minister Raja Warring in the dock, Transport Minister Laljit Bhullar today claimed the bodies fabricated for 825 PRTC buses from Jaipur during the previous regime were of poor quality and that the matter was being investigated.

Talking to mediapersons, Bhullar said the buses were procured for the PRTC fleet during Warring’s tenure. “Question arises why Jaipur was chosen over workshops in Punjab and Haryana for the bus body fabrication,” he said.

He said it had been established the fabrication for the buses was of poor quality and an inquiry would be initiated soon in this regard. He said if required, they would summon PCC chief Raja Warring to bring out the truth.

In the run-up to the polls, the Transport Department had procured buses for the Punjab Roadways Transport Corporation’s fleet.

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).
