Amid the ongoing controversy over the rolls for the Bihar elections, the Election Commission on Monday issued a slew of 'fact-checks', claiming to allay misgivings as it countered Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge's post on it. The EC on X said: “The (Kharge’s) claim that no document is required and only filling the form is sufficient, is misleading.... There is no change in instructions. SIR is being conducted as per the orders dated 24.06.2025. The filled form before 25th July is mandatory, but the documents can be submitted either before 25th July or during the objection period.”

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).
