Solan, November 3

The police today booked BJP’s Arki candidate Govind Ram Sharma for affixing banners and posters bearing his party’s symbols on various government buildings in violation of the Model Code of Conduct.

A flying squad removed the posters and banners and handed these over to the police. A first information report was registered against Sharma. The police were investigating the case.

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Darlaghat, Sandeep Kumar said, “BJP candidate Govind Sharma has been booked under the Prevention of Disfigurement Act and Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code on a complaint received from the returning officer for affixing banners and posters on various government buildings, which is a violation of the Model Code of Conduct. A probe was underway.”

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).
