Yamunanagar, March 16

Deputy Commissioner Captain Manoj Kumar has dismissed the sarpanch of Dusani village in Yamunanagar for using fake Class 10 certificate to contest the election.

An inquiry conducted by Jagadhri SDM found that sarpanch Sunita Rani had submitted the fake certificate with nomination papers.

According to information, Meena Kumari of Dusani village had lodged a complaint with the DC Kumar in December 2022, demanding an inquiry into the case. After the inquiry revealed that the certificate was fake, the DC passed an order on March 13, dismissing Rani under Section 51 (3) of the Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 1994. The DC has dismissed two sarpanches in the past 15 days.

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).
