As many as 18 councillors have submitted a no confidence motion against Kharar Municipal Council president Jaspreet Kaur of Longia to executive officer. The councillors have called for a meeting to elect the new president.

A total of 18 councillors are needed to pass the no-confidence motion in the 27-member house.

Speculations were rife for past many days to remove president Longia, a SAD councillor from ward number 19.

The Kharar Municipal Council is one of the richest civic bodies in Punjab with a total budget of around Rs 136 crore but the civic amenities in the town remain in very poor condition, the councillors had complained.

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).
