New Delhi, April 3

The Election Commission has directed the chief secretaries and director general of police (DGPs) of all states and UTs to plug interstate and international borders to check the inflow of illicit liquor, cash, drugs, arms and freebies.

The ECI today convened a meeting with all states and UTs to review the law and order situation for the Lok Sabha and Assembly poll.

The meeting was chaired by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar along with ECs Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu.

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).
