Chandigarh, March 24

After a long delay, the Municipal Corporation today conducted a polling to elect five members of the Town Vending Committee.

As many as 28 street vendors had filed nominations under SC, OBC, women, minority and differently able categories. However, 16 nominations were rejected for not fulfilling the eligibility criteria.

The election was carried out under the supervision Inderjeet Singh Gulati, returning officer-cum-Superintending Engineer (B&R). Three polling stations comprising of six polling booths were established for 7,249 eligible street vendors to cast vote. A total of 3,212 votes were polled, logging a poll percentage of 44.31. —

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).
