The Election Commission in collaboration with Dev Samaj College for Women, Sector 45-D, organised a programme to spread awareness among persons with disabilities (PwDs) on voting. More than 100 students and faculty members attended the programme on the college campus.

The session shed light on various and facilities such as ramps, wheelchairs, priority entry to polling stations, braille-enabled electronic voting machines, and pick and drop services available for PwD voters.

JS Jayara, former principal of Institute for the Blind, Sector 26, and state icon for PWDs, encouraged students to actively engage in the electoral process under the campaign ‘Chunav ka Parv Desh ka Garv.

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).
