Chamba, November 11

As many as 1,400 specially abled and above 80 years of age persons have cast vote at their homes in the five constituencies of the district in compliance with the instructions of the EC.

District Election Officer DC Rana today said the EC had made a provision for differently abled voters and those above 80 years of age to exercise their franchise through postal ballot. For the purpose, 40 parties went door to door to help the eligible voters to cast their votes, he added.

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).
