Chandigarh, October 7

The Election Department celebrated International Day for Older People by felicitating five centurion voters of the city.

The offices concerned visited the houses of the centurion voters and delivered them a letter containing the messages of the Chief Election Commissioner.

A special camp was organised at Senior Citizens Home, Sector 15 and Sector 43, where senior citizens were handed appreciation letters.

Dr Vijay Namdeorao Zade, Chief Electoral Officer, UT, stated during the 2014 and 2019 elections, senior citizens (80 age group) and voters with disabilities were provided with many facilities in the city, such as wheelchairs at every polling station, ramp facilities and queue-less voting. We had also provided a pick-up and drop facility to senior citizens and voters with disabilities.

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).
