Chandigarh, May 20

The Haryana Government today sent its consent to the State Election Commission (SEC) for the conduct of elections to the 50 municipalities in the state.

In a communication to the SEC, the Principal Secretary of the Urban Local Bodies said the state government had “no objection” to the conduct of election 50 municipalities, including one municipal corporation, 18 municipal councils and 31 municipal committees.

On May 17, the SEC had sought “statutory consultation” with the state government for the conduct of the polls. The state government also sent the copy of its communication to the DCs, district municipal commissioners and commissioners of the municipal corporations for the provision of the necessary staff for the smooth conduct of the elections.

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).
