Congress has wrested the Rajgarh nagar panchayat (NP) after ten months as the candidates supported by it have been elected as the president and vice-president in the elections held today at Rajgarh in Sirmaur district.

While Jyoti Sahni was elected the president, Kapil Thakur, an independent candidate, became the vice-president. There were four Congress-supported candidates, two BJP-supported candidates and an independent candidate for the seven wards in the Rajgarh NP.

The Congress outperformed the BJP-supported candidates and won both seats by five votes. The BJP-supported candidates could only get two votes.

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).
