Chandigarh, April 23

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is learnt to be quite “unhappy” with the recent decision of the state Transport department banning the use of ‘motorcycle rehri’.

Motorcycle ‘rehris’ were used by underprivileged sections to ferry small quantity of goods, either for sale or for their personal consumption.

The move to ban their use had drawn public ire.

Sources said the order could be reversed soon.

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).
