Ambala, December 25

The election for the chairperson and vice-chairperson of the Zila Parishad (ZP), Ambala, was adjourned due to the lack of quorum as just five members out of a total of 15 members reached to attend the meeting on Sunday.

While the Aam Aadmi Party’s ZP member and chairperson candidate, Makhan Singh, was in police custody, two members of the BJP and three independent members reached the ADC office to attend the meeting, but due to the lack of quorum, the meeting was adjourned. At least two-thirds members were required to be present at the meeting. Now, the election will be held on Monday.

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).
