Chandigarh, May 25

Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar today said a inquiry would be initiated against senior officials of the department for failing to take action against a private company given contract for making driving licences and registration certificates (RCs) of vehicles.

Talking to mediapersons here, Bhullar said the company had stopped all work earlier this year, leading to a pendency of nearly 6 lakh licences and RCs in different Regional Transport Authorities. “We are going to inquire why a senior official did not issue the company a notice when it had stopped the work contracted to it,” he said.

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).
