Discontent with the policies of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), people from several villages joined the Congress party.

A large number of villagers from Sando joined the Congress in the presence of former MLA Kuljit Singh Nagra. Earlier the villagers from Sadomajra, Jakhwali, Kotla Jattan and Sirhind town had already joined the party, bolstering its standing.

Many prominent local leaders including Varinderjit Singh Banni from Saunda along with Dharminder Singh, Malkit Singh, Gurjit Singh, Satnam Singh, Mandeep Singh among others joined the Congress party after deserting the AAP. The leaders were inducted into the Congress fold by Nagra.

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).
