New Delhi, May 27

The Delhi poll body said it had implemented two-tier security arrangements for the polled EVMs and VVPATs stored in the strongrooms of the seven parliamentary constituencies.

The office of the Chief Electoral Officer said the innermost perimeter is being guarded by the CAPF personnel and the outermost perimeter by the state armed police.

A 24×7 CCTV camera coverage of the sealed doors of the strongrooms and corridors with continuous monitoring has been made with single entry/exit point to the strong rooms and double lock system.

Mandatory videography is done during the opening and closing of the strongrooms and a logbook is maintained for recording visits of the authorised officials.

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).
