Earlier a Trinamool Congress member, Trivedi had announced his resignation from the Rajya Sabha on February 12, saying he felt suffocated in the House as was unable to do anything to stop the violence going on in West Bengal. He is now with the BJP. Trivedi’s term was to end in April 2026. The commission said notification for the bypoll would be issued on July 22 and poll would be held on August 9. The counting will take place on the same day after the polling ends.

The commission reiterated that Covid-appropriate behaviour, including mandatory use of face masks, thermal scanning at the entry, abundance of availability of sanitiser and social distancing, would be ensured during the bypoll. — TNS

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).
