Shimla, December 7

On the eve of the counting of votes today, the Congress expelled 30 Shimla district office-bearers from the primary membership of the party for six years for anti-party activities. HPCC president Pratibha Singh took the decision on the basis of a resolution received from the Block Congress Committee, Chopal.

In Chopal, the Congress has fielded Rajneesh Khimta against BJP’s sitting MLA Balbir Verma. The Congress did not give ticket to its 2017 candidate Subhash Manglate, who contested as an independent.

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).
