Nuh, November 7

The Nuh police nabbed a newly elected woman sarpanch for her alleged involvement in booth capturing. The accused identified as Rashida was sent to judicial custody.

The authorities registered a complaint and ordered a re-poll. The results were declared on November 4 and village resident Rashida won by 160 votes. While she and her supporters were celebrating her victory, videos went viral which reportedly highlighted her involvement in booth capturing. “Evidence showed involvement of the newly elected sarpanch. We have arrested her and the matter in under probe,” said Varun Singla, SP, Nuh.

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).
