New Delhi, April 9

The Centre on Tuesday provided a Z-category VIP security cover of armed commandoes to Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar in view of potential threats, official sources said.

The Ministry for Home Affairs has tasked the CRPF for providing a contingent of around 45 personnel for the task, the sources said. The move comes as preparations are underway for the seven-phase LS elections.

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).
