Shimla, January 25

President Droupadi Murmu today conferred the Best Electoral Practices Award for 2022 on Maneesh Garg for his various initiatives taken as Chief Electoral Officer in the 2022 Assembly elections.

Garg was honoured with the award during a special event organised to mark National Voters’ Day in New Delhi for his meticulous planning and execution of the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) programme during the last Vidhan Sabha elections.

Besides Garg, Bilaspur Deputy Commissioner Pankaj Rai and Kangra Deputy Commissioner Nipun Jindal were also conferred with the award in the general category for SVEEP activities and an IT initiative, respectively.

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).
