Chief Electoral Officer Nandita Gupta on Monday said that the Election Commission of India (ECI) had introduced several initiatives to make the election process more transparent, inclusive and effective. These initiatives were being implemented in the state, she added.

Nandita said a maximum limit of 1,200 voters had been set for a polling station, as per the ECI’s guidelines, to ensure there was no overcrowding and voters could exercise their right to franchise.

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).
