Chandigarh, August 20

The UT Administration has decided to organise a special drive from Monday to link Aadhaar with voter cards.

As per the instructions of the Election Commission of India, the linking of Aadhaar with voter cards is underway in the city. A spokesperson said more than 50,000 citizens had got their Aadhaar cards linked with voter cards. Citizens can do this online through NVSP.com or with the help of the Voter Helpline app.

He said a special drive would be organised from August 22 to September 7, where booth-level officers (BLOs) will visit door to door to collect Aadhaar data. The campaign will also help citizens with their voter registration. A special camp will be organised at all polling stations on September 4. Aadhaar linking is entirely voluntary.

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).
