Deputy Commissioner-cum-District Election Officer Yash Garg today said permission from the Media Certification & Monitoring Committee (MCMC) was mandatory to run advertisements in cinema halls, cable and newspapers. “All cable operators have to ensure compliance with the Cable TV Network Regulation Act, including the rules prescribed by the EC. Strict action will be taken against those who violate orders,” he said.

Only certified advertisements will be broadcast he said, adding: “The certificate issued by the committee will have the seal and signature of the competent officer concerned. The operator has to take care that only CDs bearing the seal should be played as advertisement,” he said.

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).
