Bathinda, February 17

Congress’ Jagroop Singh Gill has continued his winning streak for the seventh time after winning by a margin of 414 votes from ward No 48 in Bathinda.

With a clear majority in the House, Gill is the front-runner and main contender for the post of Mayor in the Bathinda MC. A lawyer, Gill got elected as a councillor for the first time in 1979, then again won in 1989, 1992, 1997, 2008, 2015 and now in 2021. He had also held the posts of the Chairman of the Bathinda Improvement Trust, vice-president and president of the civic body and the president of the District Bar Association in the past. Among other ex-councillors who emerged victorious are Sham Lal Jain, Santosh Mahant and Harmandar Singh. — 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).
