Chamba, April 1

In a bid to increase the voter participation in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, Chamba Deputy Commissioner-cum-District Election Officer Mukesh Repaswal today appointed four poll icons under the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) programme.

Repaswal said the appointment of these icons was aimed to raise awareness and attract voters from various sections of the constituency.

Padma Shri award winners Lalita Vakil, Musafir Ram, and Dr Vijay Sharma have been appointed icons in the art and culture category.

Asian shooting championship bronze medallist Farhan Mirza has been appointed as the youth icon.

The District Electoral Officer said the appointment of the election icons would help in increasing voter awareness and participation.

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).
