Solan, January 21

Congress-backed Nisha Sharma and Sonia Sharma were today elected as the president and vice-president of the Parwanoo Municipal Committee (MC), respectively.

Though the Congress-supported candidates had won four seats, they managed to rope in Independent councillor Nisha Sharma, who was denied the ticket by the BJP. She had won two elections earlier and denying her the ticket cost the BJP dear — BJP-supported candidates could win only three seats. Another Independent councillor also lent support to the Congress-backed councillors.

Nisha joined the Congress yesterday. The three BJP-supported councillors did not turn up for polling and both Nisha and Sonia were elected unanimously. — TNS

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).
