The withdrawal process for the upcoming panchayat samiti elections concluded smoothly today. Of the 310 candidates who were validly nominated after scrutiny, 104 withdrew their nominations, leaving 206 candidates in the fray across the three samitis of Kharar, Majri and Dera Bassi.

All withdrawal applications were processed in accordance with the guidelines of the State Election Commission, ensuring that there is complete transparency and adherence to the election code.

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).
