District Election Officer, Lahaul and Spiti, Sumit Khimta said today that senior voters had set an example in strengthening democracy by participating in the continuous democratic process.

He said that to ensure maximum participation of senior citizens above 80 years of age and differently abled voters, the Election Commission of India is arranging many new facilities. Senior citizens can also vote through postal ballot from their homes by filling Form 12D.

“On the occasion of World Elders Day on October 1, officers and observers of the Election Commission will felicitate senior citizens for their contribution to democracy,” he said.

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).
