Chandigarh, December 19

The Chandigarh Congress, in a letter to the State Election Commission, UT, alleged that the BJP had put up hoardings on city roundabouts in view of the upcoming Municipal Corporation elections, scheduled for December 24.

In the letter, Rajesh Sharma, spokesperson for the Chandigarh Territory Congress Committee, alleged that “The BJP has put up hoardings on roundabouts in the city. It is unauthorised, illegal and a clear violation of the Model Code of Conduct.”

The letter mentioned: “Such illegal boards or materials should be removed immediately and expenses borne on such publicity material should be added to the election expenditure of individual candidates. Initiate appropriate legal action in this regard and intimate the action taken thereupon.”

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).
