Nearly three months after the Urban Local Bodies’ (ULB) elections were held in various districts of the state, the BJP government has nominated 96 municipal councillors, ending the wait for many local leaders who had been lobbying for these positions.

The list of nominated councillors was released by Vikas Gupta, Commissioner and Secretary, Urban Local Bodies Department, Haryana. Out of total 96 nominations, 72 councillors have been nominated to municipal councils and committees, while the remaining 24 have been appointed to eight municipal corporations, with three nominees in each.

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).
