Nomination papers of 62 candidates out of 310 were rejected on Friday during the scrutiny for 26 Assembly constituencies that are going to polls in the second phase, officials said.

The last date for withdrawal of nomination papers is Monday, while polling for these seats will be held on September 25. Prominent among those in the fray for these seats are NC leader Omar Abdullah, Congress’ Tariq Hamid Karra, BJP UT chief Ravinder Raina and separatist Sarjan Ahmad Wagay alias Barkati.

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).
