Bathinda, January 13

The SDM-cum-Returning Officer for the Bathinda (Urban) constituency today directed the political parties to desist from luring voters by filling forms for jobs and mobile phones for the time being.

SDM-cum-RO Sakshi Sawhney said in view of the complaints in this regard, the political parties have been told to discontinue this practice.

“The matter is already in the notice of senior officials of the Election Commission. Things would be decided only after getting clear directions from the higher-ups,” she said. — TNS

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).
