New Delhi, August 13

The Supreme Court Monday questioned the West Bengal State Election Commission (WBSEC) as to why such a huge number of candidates won unopposed in the recent panchayat polls.

A Bench headed by CJI Dipak Misra sought to know if WBSEC had conducted any exercise to figure out the possibility of candidates having been prevented from filing nominations in panchayat constituencies in which Trinamool Congress candidates had a walk over. — 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).
