Tel Aviv [Israel], February 5 (ANI/TPS): An innovative experiment in Israel is giving ambulances priority at traffic lights in the hope of saving lives.

Led the Ministry of Transportation, Ayalon Highways, Magen David Adom and the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, the system uses GPS-based technology to detect ambulances and automatically adjust traffic signals.

Initial tests showed a 40-second reduction in hospital transport time. Officials are now considering expanding the project nationwide. (ANI/TPS)

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).
