Chandigarh, May 18

Former UT Adviser Vijay Dev, State Election Commissioner (SEC) of Delhi and Chandigarh, was administered the oath of office today by UT Administrator Banwarilal Purohit at the Punjab Raj Bhawan.

The SEC was accompanied by UT Adviser Dharam Pal and other senior functionaries of the Administration. Thereafter, the SEC went to the Chandigarh office of the Election Commission and interacted with the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, and other functionaries. The SEC advised the staff of the Election Commission to be responsive and courteous to all queries and communication received from any section of society or office. The SEC conveyed that the tagline “Every voter matters in democracy” should be followed in its true spirit.

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).
