Bathinda/ Fazilka, February 19

The inter-state borders with Haryana, Doomwali in Bathinda and Sardulgarh in Mansa, have been sealed ahead of voting for the 2022 Assembly elections.

Around 4,500 police personnel and 28 CRPF companies have been deployed in Bathinda district.

The administration has made arrangements for the voting. The electronic voting machines (EVMs) were given to the staff at PESCO, IHM and Govt Polytechnic College.

In Bathinda Urban, Hindu voters hold the key. DC Vineet Kumar said 1,192 polling booths have been set up for six Assembly seats.

Meanwhile, Fazilka DC Babita Kler said 23 nakas have been laid along Sriganganagar and Hanumangarh districts of Rajasthan. She said 22 companies of paramilitary forces have been deployed in the district. —

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).
