Chandigarh, February 18

In view of the Assembly elections in Punjab, the UT Administration has decided to grant special casual leave on Sunday to all employees who are working with the Administration, boards, corporations, institutions, industries, factories, private sector, shops and also within the meaning of Section 25 of the Negotiable Instrument Act and are registered voters in Punjab to enable them to exercise their franchise. Daily wage employees in industrial shops and commercial establishments will be entitled to the benefits of paid holiday extended under the Representation of the People Act.

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).
