The Residents Welfare Association, Modern Housing Complex, Sector 13, re-elected Colonel Gursewak Singh (retd) its president for the fourth consecutive term of three years. Initially, there were four candidates in a fray. Two candidates, Naveen Vij and Nagesh Tara, withdrew their nominee. The final contest was between Colonel Gursewak Singh, who got over 160 hands in his favour, while his rival Rakesh Verma could get support of only eight members.

In accordance with the bylaws of the RWA, the president selected his core team comprising SA Qureshi as general secretary, and SK Gautam as finance secretary. The core committee then nominated Mandeep Kaur, Paramjit Thakur, Sham Singh, and Gyaninder Koul as secretaries and Dr Ashwani, Natasha Wangoo and Joginder Thapar as joint secretaries.

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).
