Located at a height of over 9,000 feet, the Kaa polling booth in Kinnaur district recorded 112.50 per cent voting in the Assembly poll.

Kinnaur District Returning Officer (DRO) Abid Husain Sadik said here today that the polling booth had recorded 112.50 per cent voting. “There were 16 voters (11 women and five men) enrolled at the Kaa booth and 14 (nine women and five men) of them cast their vote,” he added.

However, the polling percentage touched 112.50 as four persons, who were part of the polling party, also cast their vote there, taking the number of total votes to 18.

Despite inclement weather and snowfall in higher reaches of the state, including Kinnaur district, there was heaviest ever at 75.6%. There was good polling in three tribal segments; Kinnaur (75.71%), Lahaul-Spiti (73.37%) and Chamba (74.04%).

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).
