Chandigarh, December 4

The first phase of Census-2021, which is houselisting operations and housing Census, has been notified for conduct in the state from May 1-June 15, 2020.

An official spokesman said the Haryana Directorate of Census Operations participated in the International “Gita Jayanti Mahotsav” at Kurukshetra and made people aware of the Census-2021.

He said the Census-2021, which was the 16th since independence, would be a digital one. For the first time in the 150-year history of census in India, data will be collected through a specially designed mobile app and enumerators would be encouraged to use their mobile phones for collecting information. — 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).
