Chief Electoral Officer, Punjab, Sibin C has informed that the Election Commission of India approved the proposal for rationalisation of polling stations in 21-Tarn Taran Assembly constituency, where by-election is due shortly. He said that the rationalisation exercise was carried out by the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO), 21-Tarn Taran, under the supervision of the District Election Officer-cum-Deputy Commissioner, Tarn Taran, strictly ensuring that the limit of 1,200 electors per polling station was not exceeded.

During the process, seven polling stations were created in consultation with political parties. With this revision, the total number of polling stations in the constituency now stands at 222.

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).
