Karnal, December 14

Newly elected sarpanches on Wednesday took charge and started works after holding gram sabha meetings in their villages. Male members of the family of elected women representatives were allowed to attend the meetings, but the meetings were chaired by the elected women. Rajbir Khundia, DDPO, said, “There are 395 posts of sarpanches in the village. Of those, 394 were elected in the elections held recently. One post is lying vacant as elections could not be held.

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).
