Karnal, January 3

The services of a woman sarpanch of Harigarh Kingan village in Guhla block of Kaithal district have been terminated for allegedly submitting fake education certificates at the time of contesting elections. The step has been initiated after the verification of her documents by a team led by the SDM.

Confirming her removal, Kaithal DDPO Kanwar Daman said she had submitted fake certificates of Class VIII for contesting the elections.

One of the villagers challenged her educational qualification, based on which the DC initiated an inquiry and terminated her from the post. The DDPO said they had also recommended the filing of an FIR against her.

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).
