The Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC-ad hoc) is set for election of the next president at the historic Gurdwara Patshahi Chhevin and Nauvin in Cheeka town of Kaithal on Thursday. As per sources, the election is likely to be stormy as there could be an issue on the number of eligible members for voting.

Election Officer Darshan Singh Barari said there were 36 eligible members, while senior vice-president Didar Singh Nalvi claimed the number of eligible members was 32. “Initially there were 41 members. Three died, one resigned and one has never attended any meeting,” said Barari.

Kaithal SP Shashank Kumar Sawan said, “Cheeka DSP and the police force have been assigned the duty of peaceful conduct of poll. — 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).
