Hamirpur, December 7

As many as 12 families, whose all members had cast vote in the Assembly elections, were honoured with the Chunav Gaurav Samman by General Election Observer Ajay Gupta in Bilaspur today. The District Election Officer had initiated a programme to improve voting percentage.

Pankaj Rai, Deputy Commissioner, said that over 80,000 entries were received from four Assembly constituencies of the district. He added that third gender Bijli Mahant at Jhandutta, specially abled Vinod Kumar at Ghumarwin, national handball player Sneh Lata at Bilaspur Sadar and international player Hem Lata at Naina Deviji selected the winners.

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).
