Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) elections will be held on August 22, according to a notification issued by the city government’s Gurdwara Election Directorate.

The polls were to be held on April 25, but were postponed in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Twenty-three returning officers have been appointed for all 46 gurdwara wards in Delhi.

Voting will be done at 546 polling stations set up in government schools across the city.

A total of 312 candidates, including 132 Independents, are in the fray. The counting of votes will take place on August 25.

As many as 3.42 lakh Sikh voters are eligible to participate in the election. PTI

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).
