Chandigarh, March 30

Deputy Commissioner-cum-District Election Officer (DEO) Vinay Pratap Singh today held a meeting with representatives of all political parties to finalise and fix rates of various commonly used items during the election process in pursuance of the Compendium of Instructions of Election Expenditure Monitoring issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI).

The ECI has fixed Rs 75 lakh as the limit of the expenditure incurred by candidates during the General Election-2024. After detailed discussions, the rates were fixed with consensus of all political parties for circulation to all concerned.

The Senior Superintendent of Police, the Additional Deputy Commissioner, the SDM (South) and other officials were also present at the meeting.

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).
