Palwal, April 24

The district authorities have suspended the sarpanch of Dhatir village for producing wrong documents regarding his caste to get elected for the post. A case has been registered in this regard.

According to a complaint lodged by a resident of the village, the accused Dushyant (27), who had got elected in November last year, had submitted that he hailed from SC community. However, his claim was wrong as he had used his adopted caste.

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).
