OT: Punjab's answer to Haryana's Maruti is the Maruta. This enterprising vehicles is built on an old jeep chassis, with a tubewell engine for propulsion and rest parts scavenged from various sources. This vehicle can haul close to a tonne of cargo or a dozen odd passengers. No wonder this has become a permanent fixture of the Punjabi landcape. Patti - Firozpur (by road), 2005-08-14.
