Chandigarh, January 23

There will be no formal voting for electing the members of the Finance and Contract Committee (F&CC) of the Municipal Corporation with five candidates filing their nominations today.

Councillors Harpreet Kaur Babla and Dalip Sharma, both from the BJP; Prem Lata and Neha, from AAP; and Gurpreet Singh Gabi of the Congress filed nominations.

Both the BJP and the AAP have 14 councillors each. The Congress has only six councillors. To avoid any clash during the elections, the parties reached an understanding to file as many nominations as required. The F&CC has the highest financial power after the general House. It has one-year tenure.

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).
