Chamba, November 13

The polled electronic voting machines (EVMs) were today airlifted from Pangi to Chamba by helicopter amid tight security.

An official report said all 57 EVMs and VVPAT machines were taken to the strongrooms of the counting centre set up at Government Polytechnic Millennium College, Sarol (Chamba). Of theses, 36 EVMs were used for the polling while 16 were kept in reserve and five for training purposes in Pangi.

The machines were kept/stored under strict surveillance of CCTV cameras in the strongrooms set up at Sarol under tight security arrangements, the report said, adding that the entire process of EVMs till the time they reach the strongroom had been captured on cameras in the presence of the Returning Officer and Assistant Returning Officers.

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).
